This fascinating book looks at the lives of women in medieval Europe. In the eyes of the law, women were children, to be guarded and controlled. Motherhood was their main purpose in life. The Church also taught that women were dangerous and sinful.

Grand Theft : Media Spectacle and a Stolen Election

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kellner, Douglas, PUBLISHER: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, The battle for the White House following the election of November , was one of the major media spectacles in American history. From the uncertainty of election night to Al Gore's concession to George W.

By applying critical social theory, cultural studies, and media criticism to buttress his arguments, Kellner concludes that Election reveals a crisis in contemporary American democracy. A final chapter critically dissects the first 100 days of the Bush presidency, which is emerging as one of the most reactionary in history.
