Customer Reviews

It is a very educative book for teenagers who like popularity

I read this book in a college class. Although I am not a teenager, I think that teenagers in the class learned a lot. They learned things such as what to wear, how to spend their money when choosing what to wear, and how culture affect our life style.

Wonderful Textbook on American Culture

As a developmental compostion teacher, I have used this text for several years, and without question, the students have not only praised it, but strongly recommended it for future classes. That kind of praise has never happened to me with any other textbook. Students love the readings--they are lively, challenging, yet very pertinent to real issues and not watered-down versions of those controversies. Additionally, I love the readings because they blend real-life experiences and observations with real in-depth critical analysis, but still, at a level that is both accessible and challenging.
