Hanson (American studies, U. of New Mexico) offers an broad overview of cheerleading and its place in American culture, looking at the cheerleader as a symbol invested with both negative and positive values. She touches on issues such as the social context of the institutionalization and adult control of cheerleading; the changing patterns of age, class, and gender of participants; and the development of cheerleading in professional sports in the 1960s.
