author], regardless of his or her particular disciplinary location,

studies. It should be essential reading for students studying
culture'" - THES

' I'll be recommending that students buy this text and teaching
from it extensively over the course of the module. This is an
excellent text by a concise, clear and important British scholar
which will help introduce students to the opportuntities they have
to study contemporary life meaningfully.'

'An inspirational take on cultural studies - past, present and
future. It is both a student text and considerably more than that.
It is written with admirable clarity, but so too with fire, passion
and much good sense' - "Bill Schwarz, Queen Mary, University of
London
"
'This is an important book. It will be the first textbook in
cultural studies that does what a truly useful textbook is supposed
to do - in the very act of summarizing and representing the field,
it recreates it anew and moves it further along' - "Lawrence
Grossberg, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
"
'This is one of the most useful textbooks in a long time' -
"Michele Barrett, Queen Mary, University of London

Students of cultural studies frequently struggle with the
subject's primary texts. For example, the work of Hall, Bhabha and
Butler can be complex. Having grappled with these texts however,
the student is then confronted with having to apply these insights
to their own areas of study.
The heart of this book comprises a series of extended critical
chapters on six of the foundational theorists of cultural studies -
Hall, Bhabha, Butler, Gilroy, Bourdieu and Jameson. By looking at
the key themes and central dynamics of these writers work, Angela
McRobbie introduces their work and their contribution.
Alongside these chapters, McRobbie has added six shorter essays
which demonstrate how one might actually "do" cultural studies
using insights from these six key theorists.
Aimed at students of cultural studies this book offers an
introduction to both the theory and practice of cultural studies.
It also provides readers with an opportunity to regard Angela
McRobbie 'in dialogue' with six of today's leading cultural studies
theorists. As such it will be eagerly welcomed by all students of
media and cultural theory.
