Opis

The newest generation of leaders was raised on a steady diet of popular culture artifacts mediated through technology, such as film, television and online gaming. As technology continues to expand access to and serve as a means of cultural production, popular culture is becoming increasingly egalitarian and capable of serving as a vehicle for ideological dissent and social change. These efforts do not happen without leaders or leadership. The chapters in this book examine works and creators of popular culture--from literature to film, music to digital culture--and address the ways in which popular culture shapes and is shaped by leaders and leadership around the globe as they strive to change their social systems for the better.
