Reviews
"In this important book, Divya McMillin extends media industry analysis beyond Anglo-American paradigms. The result is a reconfiguration of the field that is at once bold, brave, and scholarly." -- John Hartley, Queensland University of Technology, Australia
"Arguing for a postcolonial turn in media studies, McMillin brilliantly demonstrates that new modes of analysis and new objects of study can provide fresh and provocative approaches to the study of globalization." -- Michael Curtain, University of Wisconsin
