Media Reviews
"As a starting point, Giroux's contention is at once fecund and ironic, and deserves a thorough exploration; the Disney Corporation is an obvious, if slightly too obvious, place to begin. Unfortunately, while Giroux avoids the deadly academic jargon of "cultural studies", and writes in a pleasingly conversational style, he none the less smothers his project by never really demonstrating this thesis; the book simply repeats the premiss in endless ways." -- Kenneth Anderson

Brand New Memory
by Elias Miguel Munoz
Bright, imaginative Gina Domingo lives entirely inside the teenage world of southern California pop culture. Although Cuban-American by birth, Gina is less a multiculturalist than an omniculturalist, absorbing everything in her path. But Gina's life with her well-to-do, protective parents (who are still coming to grips with their uprooted past and life in exile) takes an unexpected turn when her paternal grandmother Estela arrives from Cuba for a visit. Here is abuela, come to set the record straight, and now Gina's entire range of experience and memories begins to change and grow. As the outlandish Estela regales her movie-besotted granddaughter with tales of life on the island, Gina finds she has been given a precious inheritance: the freedom to create her own outlook on the past, her own brand new memories.
