Abstract
: 
"Cultural Studies: A Critical Introduction is a wide-ranging and stimulating introduction to cultural studies from its beginnings to the global field that it is becoming today. It begins by describing cultural studies' social and theoretical histories and contexts, and then presents a series of short essays on important areas, designed to provoke discussion and raise questions. Each thematic section examines and explains a key topic." "Cultural Studies: A Critical Introduction will be very useful in classrooms but will also appeal to anyone with an interest in keeping up or familiarising themselves with cultural studies in its contemporary forms."--BOOK JACKET.
