Book Review: Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Showbusiness by N. Postman (1985).

This paper will also address some of Postman's own unexamined assumptions, and consider how these function to prevent Postman from developing a more critical perspective about social agency and intellectual participation, invention, and interpretation. 7.5 pgs. 13 f/c. 1b.
