Summary: Good theory, lack of support
Comment: Rogers' "Barbie Culture" is an ambitious attempt to understand how Barbie acts as an icon in American culture. Her attempt succeeds at suggesting a number of interesting theories as to how children and adults understand, interact with, and interpret Barbie. However, she fails to adequately support her ideas. Instead of providing good evidence, Rogers strings together paragraphs of quotations from other authors. She also fails to detail the theories of other authors she draws upon in creating her analysis.
Her ideas are good, but executed poorly. This book is good if you are looking for ideas to use when studying Barbie's effects on our culture, but not good for providing a detailed analysis of Barbie's position as an icon.
