A collection of eloquent essays, Tooning In critically examines and
interprets the concept of 'popular culture.' Many interesting works
have addressed this subject, but few have provided a critical
perspective regarding the possibilities of popular culture as a
tool for teaching and learning. White and Walker suggest that
popular culture is a vital aspect of contemporary life and can be
wielded as a tool for efficacy and empowerment, particularly among
youth. The book addresses such important questions as: What is the
role of popular culture in students' lives? What are the
possibilities for popular culture in schooling and education? What
are the differences between traditional and transformative
approaches to popular culture? With essays specifically devoted to
film, music, television, games, and other alternative popular
culture texts, Tooning In invites readers to re-examine the
fundamental aspects of popular culture as a societal force.
