Rezensionen

"Drawing upon a comprehensive range of primary and secondary sources, this book is primarily situated within the broader context of labor and working-class history research, as well as the emerging sub-field of historical capitalism. It is an essential read for individuals interested in exploring issues surrounding labor and work in media, labor history, and popular culture during two pivotal decades in modern American history." - Yuwei Huang, USTB, China and Li Lin, Hunan University of Arts and Science, China, Journal of Popular Culture
