Playing with Power in Movies, Television, and Video Games Summary

Playing with Power in Movies, Television, and Video Games: From Muppet Babies to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by Marsha Kinder

How do children today learn to understand stories? Why do they respond so enthusiastically to home video games and to a myth like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? And how are such fads related to multinational media mergers and the new world order? In assessing these questions, Marsha Kinder provides a brilliant new perspective on modern media.
