Pop Culture Goes to War, by Geoff Martin and Erin Steuter, explores
the persistence of militarism in American popular culture in the
war on terror, from 9/11 to the present day. The authors detail the
role of Hollywood and the entertainment industries in rallying both
the troops and the public for war and show how toys, video games,
music, and television support contemporary militarism. At the same
time that popular culture is enlisting support for militarism, it
is also serving as a major source of resistance to the war on
terror through the traditional mediums of music and movies, and
increasingly through the humor and insight of anti-war artists who
are jamming the culture of militarism. The satire of The Daily
Show, The Simpsons, and South Park are further examples of
so-called culture jamming. This book is for readers who question
the persistence of a warrior culture and offers new insights into
the perpetuation of militaristic values throughout American
culture.
