GEOGRAPHY / GEOGRAPHY AND WORLD CULTURES

ABC-CLIO SERIES
Entertainment and Society around the World

Entertainment and Society around the World enables students to learn about world geography through a very different lens: that
of pop culture, be it the power couples of Bollywood, the biggest pop music stars of Japan, or the hottest Nigerian “Nollywood”
actor. Students will see beyond the world of U.S. celebrities and learn about how globalization has affected and changed pop culture
around the world. Pop culture—while a huge part of life in the United States—is a very new idea in many countries. This series will help
students to understand not just material culture, but also about daily life in other regions of the world.
The volumes are consistently organized with sections on music, books, movies, television/radio, Internet, sports, video games, and
fashion/couture. Each section begins with a general introduction to the topic and is followed by short entries on key ideas, concepts,
and people relating to that topic.
This series allows students to examine the stars, idols, and fads of other countries, thereby providing readers with an understanding
of the globalization of pop culture—even showing students the birth, rise, and growing influence of pop culture in more developing
worlds.
