Abstract:
"Cultural Studies: From Theory to Action is a landmark collection of key works that inspires conversations about issues of social and economic justice and the current crisis in democracy." "In addition to a substantial essay that frames the project, this valuable resource includes generous lists of suggested readings, activist organizations, web resources, and journals that "go against the grain." These are all designed to continue the conversation that the anthology begins, and to enable readers to get involved in their own communities and coalitions."--BOOK JACKET.
