- Summary:
- "The newest generation of leaders was raised on a steady diet of popular culture artifacts mediated through technology, such as film, television and online gaming. As technology expands access to cultural production, popular culture continues to play an important role as an egalitarian vehicle for promoting ideological dissent and social change. The chapters in this book examine works and creators of popular culture -- from literature to film and music to digital culture -- in order to address the ways in which popular culture shapes and is shaped by leaders around the globe as they strive to change their social systems for the better"-- Provided by publisher.
