Reviews

"A lively appraisal of Cultural Studies, offering an array of fresh insights into current debates about pressing social issues. Chris Rojek provokes, challenges and inspires in equal measure."
Professor Stuart Allan, University of the West of England

"Chris Rojek has for decades worked on the cutting edge of cultural studies. His book Cultural Studies presents an excellent introduction to the field; case studies in how to do cultural studies; an overview of significant moments and debates in the field; and the articulation of original categories and insights that should be of use to beginning students and seasoned scholars alike."
Douglas Kellner, University of California-Los Angeles
