Welcome
This website has been created to accompany the fifth edition of American Cultural Studies. Long a core text in the field, aiming to provide readers with a vivid, accessible introduction to key themes in modern American culture, the book has been extensively revised and updated for this new edition.
The companion website offers a substantial set of materials to support further research in each of the subjects covered by the book. Here you will find:
- additional study activities and assignment topics
- suggestions of helpful online resources
- an interactive timeline of cultural and historical events from the early seventeenth century to the present.
Readers of the book itself will note that coverage of particular topics often extends across several chapters. This website is designed according to similar principles (so, for example, anyone interested in African American culture will find relevant material by clicking not only on the link to Chapter 3, which focuses on this subject, but on those to other chapters as well).
