The Trash Phenomenon by Stacey Olster
Looks at how writers of the late twentieth century not only have integrated the events, artifacts, and theories of popular culture into their works but also have used those works as windows into popular culture's role in the process of nation building.To do scholarship of this kind demands a wide knowledge of historical factors, but also an ability to maintain a focus on the artwork so that readers may understand just how it functions in the larger process of societyIn The Trash Phenomenon Stacey Olster does this brilliantly.
