Lawrence W. Levine's "Highbrow/Lowbrow" is a significant work in cultural history that examines the evolving meanings of highbrow and lowbrow culture in America.
Levine traces the historical development of these categories, demonstrating how they have been used to define social class and cultural taste.
He challenges the notion of an inherent distinction between high and low culture, arguing that these categories are socially constructed and reflect power dynamics.
The book offers valuable insights into the relationship between culture, class, and identity in American society.
Levine's work remains influential in cultural studies and historical analyses of taste and social stratification.
