Recenzii
Praise for the first edition:
Kendall accomplishes something significant with her book. Very well written and organized, the book uses language that is readily accessible most undergraduates. It should find a lasting place within the critical media studies literature.
Praise for the first edition:
Framing Class provides an interesting, and previously understudied, look at class as shaped by popular culture. Kendall has collected a wonderfully detailed and significant data set, which should recommend this book to sociologists and communications/media scholars, as well as undergraduate courses in social stratification, social problems, or sociology of popular culture.
A provocative and innovative book! Politicians pontificate on 'class warfare,' yet know little about class realities that savvy social scientist Diana Kendall probes in depth. With a critical eye, Kendall assesses the validity of media framing of upper, middle, and working class Americans' lives, past and present. Remarkably little studied in contemporary social science and investigative journalism, U.S. class images and experiences finally get the in-depth and comparative attention they deserve.
Framing Class explains how media shape our (mis)conceptions of the class structure. An insightful, gracefully written, and entertaining book.
The second edition of Framing Class is a real find! Ideal for classroom use: comprehensive, accessible, and engaging.
