The Main Stream (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162771724)

The Main Stream is a book written by Stuart Sherman that explores the concept of ""mainstream"" and its impact on society. The author delves into the idea of what is considered mainstream and how it affects our daily lives, from our choices in music and entertainment to our political beliefs and social norms. Sherman argues that the mainstream is not just a neutral force, but rather a powerful tool that can be used to shape and control our thoughts and actions. He also examines the ways in which the mainstream is constantly changing and evolving, and how this can lead to both progress and stagnation. The book is a thought-provoking analysis of a fundamental aspect of modern society, and is sure to be of interest to anyone interested in cultural studies, sociology, or media studies.1927.
