Summary

In order to understand the massive social and cultural changes that took place in Australia since the end of World War II, Michelle Arrow examines popular culture through three main lenses: consumerism and the development of a mass consumer society; the impact of technological change; and the ways that popular culture contributes to, and articulates, individual and collective identities. She provides an integrated account of changes in a range of popular culture forms, meanings, production and consumption.

Author Biography

Michelle Arrow is a senior lecturer in history at Macquarie University with a longstanding interest in the intersections between history and popular culture. She previously held the University of New South Wales history fellowship and was a presenter on the television history series Rewind. She is the author of Upstaged.
