'Deconstructing Popular Culture is an accessible, funny and stimulating introduction to popular culture and cultural studies. This is a book with both a passionate argument and a rare skill in making the 'fine print' of complex theoretical arguments accessible.' - Richard Stamp, Senior Lecturer of Media and Cultural Studies, Bath Spa University, UK 'Bowman writes very much as though he is speaking directly to a group of undergraduates: it engages them where they live. This book is an extraordinarily significant achievement.' - John Mowitt, Professor of Cultural Studies, University of Minnesota, USA '...an engaging textbook...' Times Higher Education
