{"product_id":"9781782799726","title":"Deconstructing Dirty Dancing","description":"Renowned film critic Roger Ebert said Dirty Dancing \"might have been a decent movie if it had allowed itself to be about anything.\" In this broadly researched and accessible text, Stephen Lee Naish sets out to deconstruct and unlock a film that has haunted him for decades, and argues that Dirty Dancing, the 1987 sleeper hit about a young middle-class girl who falls for a handsome working-class dance instructor, is actually about everything. The film is a union of history, politics, sixties and eighties culture, era-defining music, class, gender, and race, and of course features one of the best love stories set to film. Using scene-by-scene analyses, personal interpretation, and comparative study, it's time to take Dirty Dancing out of the corner and place it under the microscope.","brand":"Hunt, John Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47136897925360,"sku":"9781782799726","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781782799726_p0.jpg?v=1769892120","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781782799726","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
