An exploration of the international legacy of rebel imagery made popular by James Dean in the 1950s.

Trade Review
"A significant contribution to both the field of cultural studies, in general, and film theory, specifically, because of its unique approach. I do not know of another work quite like this one, which uses the iconic presence of a movie star to enlighten our understanding of a plethora of films and social practices influenced by that star's image." Kurt Hemmer, Associate Professor of English, Harper College
