Reviews
`This is by far the most complete and critical analysis of cultural studies which we possess. It is organised logically and written in a clear and accessible style. The criticisms of Gramsci's legacy with respect to data, narrowness, exclusive definitions of truth, elitism, circukarity of arguement, posturing etc, are well devolped. An obvious undergraduate textbook' - Bryan Turner, Professor of Sociology, Essex University
`THis is a fine study ... I recommend this book strongly' - Roland Robertson, Professor of Sociology, University of Pittsburgh
