by Michael Kammen
First line
A decade ago, when I began to teach courses on the evolution of taste levels and cultural stratification in the United States-courses con with culture in a democratic society, the society, the commodification of culture, the changing nature and uses of leisure, culture and national identity, those kinds of issues-a troublesome lack of definitional clar and precision in the pertinent literature quickly became apparent.
