Popular Culture, Geopolitics, and Identity is back! This time there is a dynamic duoDittmer and Bos. The new edition preserves the accessible and engaging style of the first edition but takes the reader on an updated tour of this exciting interdisciplinary field. Highly recommended. -- Klaus Dodds, Royal Holloway University of London; author of Geopolitics: A Very Short Introduction Jason Dittmers original work has been greatly enhanced by the contributions of Daniel Bos, producing an up-to-date, insightful, and provocative text that reflects the increasing and now undeniable relevance of popular culture in world politics. The new version covers major developments from Trumps reality television presidency to the advent of clicktivism, giving the reader multiple vectors from which to assess, interpret, and/or critique the interplay between power, pop culture, policy, and politics. With a new chapter dedicated to methodologies and modalities, as well as expanded analysis of social media and other less studied elements of popular culture, the second edition is a welcome addition to the scholarship of popular geopolitics. Written in straightforward language and employing a plethora of timely and relevant examples, this new edition is perfect for use in undergraduate classes but is also of interest to postgrads and researchers alike. -- Robert Saunders, Farmingdale State CollegeSUNY Thoroughly updated for our geopolitically uncertain times but retaining the accessibility, clarity, and sparkle of the first edition, this is a must-read for those who want to understand the entanglements of politics and popular culture. -- Joanne Sharp, University of Glasgow
