Contributors analyze examples across a range of genres-horror, teen rom-coms, military flicks, slow-burns, and animated children's films-covering topics including gender and sexuality, environmental politics, technophobia, xenophobia, and class and racial inequality."-Provided by publisher"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The beginning of the 21st century was a time of unprecedented events in American society: Y2K, 9/11 and the wars that followed, partisan changes in government and the rapid advancements of the Internet and mass consumerism.
