"Sholle and Denski have written a splendid text. August in scope and erudite in execution, it should rank as one of the most important books in media education in the foreseeable future....(They) possess such a formidable ability to make imporatnt conceptual and political links among pedagogy, historical agency, representation, and democracy that at times they appear to share between them at least four brains. This is a powerful work of important political significance...(that) needs to be read by educators ranging from public school teachers, to university administrators, to television producers and government policy makers. It is an ethical wake-up call for educators and cultural workers to expand the struggle for a radical democracy outside of classrooms and into the politics of everyday life."-Peter McLaren Graduate School of Education University of California, Los Angeles
