> environment, and the languages used in the 
> media. Other chapters consider television drama, soap
> opera, broadcast comedy, gender, the media and 
> politics, race and ethnicity, gender, popular music,

> itself at home and abroad as well as analyzing
> questions of politics, economics and governance.
