About this title

Review

"This work effectively answers those who argue for simplistic causal connections between children's media exposure and acts of violence and breaks new ground in the study of children's responses to media." (Michael O'Loughlin Hofstra University)

"Joseph Tobin explodes popular conception that children are passive dupes of an all-powerful media. He shows the ways in which children can resist, parody and appropriate the images and narratives of film, using local experiences to interpret global texts." (Thomas Newkirk University of New Hampshire)

"Tobin offers a provocative challenge to conventional views about the effects of the media on children. This is an engaging, thought-provoking study that should be read by all those with an interest in contemporary children's culture." (David Buckingham University of London)
