It’s a beautiful summers day in Pontypandy, and there is going to be a big picnic on the beach, with a sandcastle competition. Everyone is invited, but Elvis must stay at the fire station with Radar the dalmatian in case there is an emergency. On the beach, Norman is annoyed that young Lily keeps following him everywhere while he’s trying to concentrate on building the biggest sandcastle, but when the tide starts to rise and Lily goes missing the beachgoers must call on Elvis and Radar to help them find her. © 2022 Prism Art & Design Limited.

From television, film, and music to sports, comics, and everyday life, this book provides a comprehensive view of working-class culture in America. The terms "blue collar" and "working class" remain incredibly vague in the United States, especially in pop culture, where they are used to express and connote different things at different times. Interestingly, most Americans are, in reality, members of the working class, even if they do not necessarily think of themselves that way. Perhaps the popularity of many cultural phenomena focused on the working class can be explained in this way: we are endlessly fascinated by ourselves. Blue-Collar Pop Culture: From NASCAR to Jersey Shore provides a sophisticated, accessible, and entertaining examination of the intersection between American popular culture and working-class life in America. Covering topics as diverse as the attacks of September 11th, union loyalties, religion, trailer parks, professional wrestling, and Elvis Presley, the essays in this two-volume work will appeal to general readers and be valuable to scholars and students studying American popular culture.
