In The Post-Liberal Imagination , Bruce Baum approaches American liberalism ‘in a critical spirit’ by examining the relationship between popular culture and politics. The book analyzes movies, television, and popular music to rethink the liberal views of democracy, equality, racism, dissent, and animal rights in the Bush-Obama era.
