Radiant Hour    Note:
Using literary, film, and television texts set within a framework of ideas drawn from cultural and social theory, this book explores how youth has been represented in American culture. Themes such as race, class, gender, power, sexuality, and authority are considered by new authors as well as by major North American writers such as Henry Giroux, Jon Lewis, and Charles Acland.   The essays present innovative and challenging analyses of new and classic texts from different chronological periods and raise key questions about the significance of youth within American culture. The collection emphasizes the ideological nature of youth and its centrality to a complex reading of popular culture.

"Were the radiant curtains just about to swing open? What would the
ghosts of the North, in their finery, have to show him?" (GR, Pt. I,
p. 29)

Floundering Four, the

miracle that's beyond her"; (2) Maximilian - Negro with natural
rhythms ("all rhythms, up to and including the cosmic")--"never. . .go
any further into danger than its dapperness"; (3) Marcel - "a
mechanical chessplayer" ("exquisite 19th-century brainwork")--"much
too literal with humans"; (4) Slothrop. Each is gifted and flawed by
his gift. Mission: rescue the Radiant Hour.
