Exploring societal reactions to American popular culture over the last century, this text highlights moral panics surrounding comic books, music, and pinball machines. It aims to instill a "sociological imagination" in undergraduates, providing a critical perspective on contemporary moral crusaders who propose simplistic solutions to complex social issues. Ideal for courses on social problems, social deviance, and popular culture, it encourages readers to reflect on the deeper sociological implications of these cultural conflicts.
