[Commlist] New Book: TikTok Cultures in the United States

Recent book publication from Routledge - "TikTok Cultures in the United 
States" - edited by Trevor Boffone.

This book delves into the role of TikTok in US popular culture and 
analyzes the platform's growing body of subcultures. Comprising 
contributions from scholars across various disciplines, the chapters in 
this book create novel analytical frameworks to examine TikTok's impact 
within a distinct context, exploring issues such as gender, sexuality, 
feminism, race and ethnicity, and wellness. By analyzing 
TikTok's influence and intersecting with those topics, the book offers 
valuable insights into how the platform is shaped by users' subcultures 
and, in turn, shapes users' understandings of their contemporary 
socio-political environment. This book can be a valuable resource for 
students and scholars seeking a comprehensive and accessible 
understanding of TikTok's complex role within the digital landscape.

Currently, the book is being sold with a 20% discount available (enter
