Enemy From Eden Signed Limited Edition

"In a series of provocative and finely crafted essays on film, rock 'n' roll, early television, popular novels, New Orleans Mardi Gras celebrations, and other aspects of popular culture, Lipsitz argues that popular culture has been, and remains, an arena of hope, possibility, criticism, and even resistance for millions of ordinary people." "--American Studies" ""Time Passages" is a far-reaching-and perhaps permanent-contribution to cultural studies." "--San Francisco Review of Books" "What really separates Lipsitz from earlier critics of popular culture is that he got his rock diploma from the high-school gym, not the Frankfurt School. Lipsitz knows the color of the labels, the B-sides, the cover versions." "--Boston Phoenix Literary Section"George Lipsitz is professor of ethnic studies at the University of California, San Diego, where he serves as director of the Thurgood Marshall Institute. He is the author of many books, including "American Studies in a Moment of Danger" (also published by the University of Minnesota Press), " The Possessive Investment in How White People Profit from Identity Politics, " and "Dangerous Popular Music, Postmodernism, and the Poetics of Place.
