The Culture Struggle by Michael Parenti

A trenchant critique of the cultural battles that shape politics and public opinion, arguing that mass media, corporate power, and entrenched elites manufacture consent and steer debates away from class interests; the book traces how ideology, education, religion, and the arts are mobilized to legitimize inequality while conjuring distractions in the guise of“culture wars,” and it calls for a democratic, grassroots counterculture that centers social justice, material conditions, and collective struggle as the basis for meaningful change.
