Pop Culture in American History

Pop culture encompasses that which everyday consumers buy, read, listen, watch, or wear.  Pop culture is thus defined by the consumer, but it also defines those consumers.  In this way, pop culture defines society at a given time.   By studying pop culture, one can understand a specific time period in history.  That is the purpose of this blog.  To look to the past through the lens of pop culture, and, thereby understand American history through the eyes of those who lived it.
