Publisher's Synopsis
Founded on the key concept that television has not only covered history but altered its course, Defining Visions explores in depth the connection between television and American culture. Organised thematically, each chapter stands alone to make an important historical point but, taken together, the chapters engage in a sweeping account of recent American history from a new and distinct perspective. This book is an ideal opportunity to examine how television as a medium has profoundly shaped our world while at the same time reflecting those changes in its programmes.
