"This book presents a magisterial overview of Cultural Studies, and
of studies of culture more broadly. It synthesizes a bewildering
range of writers and ideas into a comprehensible narrative. It's
respectful to the history of ideas and completely cutting edge. I
learned a lot - you will too." - Professor Alan McKee, University
of Technology Sydney "The role of culture in spatial, digital and
political settings is a vital aspect of contemporary life. Barker

relationship to these core issues, both through a clear explanation
of key concepts and thinkers, alongside well chosen examples and
essential questions." - Dr David O'Brien, Goldsmiths, University of
