Stubborn Hope: Religion, Politics, and Revolution in Central America Book

This is a solid academic work covering a number of television series that lend themselves to a discussion of 'lived religion' and its intersection with media and popular culture studies.

One quotation from the epilogue by the book's editor, Diane Winston, I think, is one that keeps me mulling over the overall content of the book: "Becoming intentional about media consumption is a critical skill for citizens of the twenty-first century. The ability to reflect on what we read, see and hear - and to bring to the surface the assumptions at work in these experiences enables media consumers to adapt and use information rather than simply be influenced or controlled by it."
