Defining Visions or The Changing Geography of Africa and the Middle East

Defining Visions: Television and the American Experience since 1945

Author: Mary Ann Watson

Founded on the key concept that television has not only covered history but altered its course, DEFINING VISIONS explores the connection between television and American culture. Organized thematically, each chapter stands alone and makes an important historical point. Taken together, these chapters offer a sweeping account of recent American history. An ideal opportunity to examine how television has shaped the world, this text provokes students to reflect critically upon the programming they watch.
