New eBook:
Homer Simpson Goes to Washington: American Politics through Popular Culture

In this informative and entertaining essay collection, Joseph Foy largely succeeds at breaking down the artificial barriers between American politics and popular culture. Referencing films, television programs and other forms of mass entertainment—from Bob Dylan song lyrics to Dave Chappelle's show—as a lens through which to view abstract political ideas and teachings, each chapter breaks down a specific aspect of American government.
