Description
In this book, some of our most prominent cultural critics explore the relationships between culture and politics as played out in the world of novels, television, museums, and even fashion. The authors - John Simon, Greil Marcus, Arthur C. Danto, and other well-known commentators from across the political spectrum - examine the arts in their relation to democracy and consider whether and how they serve one another.
