Michael Bérubé The Employment of English
"...most citizens of the United States devote more of their attention to culture than to politics; it is no exaggeration to say that most Americans live their relation to the political by way of the cultural, as was amply demonstrated by 1994's public debates over films like Forrest Gump and The Lion King" (227).
