Excellent overview of a wide and complex topic

This book takes a rich and complex literature and manages to absorb the important highlights. The historical choices and the recent ones through post-modernism make give a helpful perspective. An great introduction to the subject matter.

As a relatively new and still evolving field, cultural studies has yet to fully define itself. Various schools of thought have sought to claim the field as their own, and there is a need for more first year student resource books which provide a guide through the field. This book is designed as a pedagogic resource which offers a variety of answers to the question 'What is Cultural Studies?'. The reader brings together some of the top writers in the international field, and introduces the student to debates about the evolution of cultural studies, different strands within the subject and future directions.
