Enid Zimmerman has written about his book saying, "I am pleased to recommend Dr. Zerric Clinton'S book proposal, Highs and Lows of Popular Culture: What does History Teach Us? In educational environments, where borders between the arts, popular culture, and contemporary media sources are increasingly becoming more permeable, a need for understanding of all peoples is increasingly apparent. Zerric Clinton's many years of teaching arts education make his suggested student activities for classroom practice valuable resources for teaching and learning, not only music, but other topics as well such as climate awareness, social justice, critical media studies, visual and performance arts, history, literacy, and anthropology. There also is an excellent list of resources and a reference section for those who seek more information on these important educational topics."
