Representations of Cults in US Popular Culture book cover

About this book

Lauren E. Shoemaker adopts a film studies approach to analyze the representation of cults in US popular culture, arguing that these portrayals play a dual role in both generating harmful stereotypes and, perhaps more importantly, examining structures of power that uphold oppressive systems.
