This new popular culture reader encourages students to consider alternative and complex perspectives on the contemporary issues and concerns that affect them daily and to make critical connections between cultural events and contexts they might previously have considered unlinked.

Organized around intriguing pairings of topics–fashion and spirituality, learning and lifestyles–that are central to contemporary culture, this provocative reader engages students because it focuses on the issues that most interest and trouble them. Pedagogical apparatus explores the interrelationships between related readings, and writing assignments investigate of the contexts of popular culture via printed texts and the World Wide Web. This critical, but engaging reader invites students to explore how we manufacture personal and group identities and conceptual categories and helps them recognize the part they play in the dynamic dialogue between the way culture frames our explanations about it–and the way our explanations produce the culture.

Uncommon Threads has been a great book. It combines many genres: short stories, magazine articles, a film still, poetry, lyrics, advertisements, and cartoons to enable one to look deeply into pop culture. This book will help one examine and analyze pop culture with an open-minded approach.
Moreover, for most topics discussed, more than one view-point is presented, which allows one to form an opinion on a topic with a better understanding. Also, the open-ended discussion questions following the texts within the book make one think about things in many different ways. For example, I have learned to examine advertisements from many different angles. It's amazing what words are to be interpreted from an advertisement.
Furthermore, many contemporary issues are discussed in Uncommon Threads; such as, Nature Vs. Nurture, Self Identity, Family Values, defining culture, life styles, attitudes, love and conflict, the American Dream, Genders' affect on heroism, Fashion and Spirituality, advertising and values; and dying and healing. All of the topics discussed seem to have no connection, but somehow all of the topics are intertwined. For instance, how is love and conflict, or romance and capitalism connected? From reading the texts in Uncommon Threads, many seemingly unconnected thoughts become intertwined.
