Description: "How is terrorism transformed into media entertainment? What is the connection between affirmative action and narcissism? Why has pathos become an endangered - perhaps an extinct - species in the contemporary American psyche? In American Affect in the Postmodern Era: a Primer, Steven Carter addresses these and other questions that have helped to define American popular culture since the nineteen-sixties."--Jacket.
