Publisher's Notes
The book teaches readers the usefulness of learning to actively "read" their surroundings. The new edition features a greatly expanded section on writing, editing, and making arguments. This cultural studies reader directly engages the process of writing about the "texts" one sees in everyday life. Its comprehensive and inclusive approach focuses on the relationship between reading traditional works–such as short stories, and poems–and other less-traditional ones–such as movies, the Internet, race, ethnicity, and television. For anyone who enjoys provocative and engaging material, and is interested in developing an appreciation for diverse cultural literary works.

In Context offers a widely praised selection of readings that are provocative, fresh, and present various genres, with selections from bell hooks, Nell Berstein, Gloria Anzaldúa, Sandra Cisneros, Barry Lopez, Robert B.
