This edited collection offers the latest research into the
reproduction of 'hegemonic' discourse and the ways in which the
description and evaluation of social groups affects their ability
to exercise cultural and political autonomy. The book examines the
representations of a number of communities and social groups, both
within their 'micro-contexts', and with reference to the economic,
political, social, cultural and technological 'macro-contexts' in
which they are embedded. The analysis highlights the connections
between discourse, power, dominance and social inequality, focusing
on patriarchal, capitalist and postcolonial representations and
power imbalances. Based on a combination of theoretical and
empirical analyses, the collection offers an array of macro-social
critiques based on the analysis and critical understanding of
contemporary contexts and representations, and how they contribute
to political, social, economic and cultural practices.
