�This is a highly distinctive reformulation of the core concepts
and objectives of media studies for the 21st century. Politically
engaged, intellectually lucid, impressively wide-ranging in its
sources of evidence, at times unapologetically opinionated, and
always pitching for your attention, this is a breath of fresh air
for the teaching of media studies. The next generation of students
will be the better for it.�
Graeme Turner, University of Queensland
�Media is the new infrastructural and aesthetic condition of the
world, calling for an urgent reassessment of older approaches.
Global Media Studies does precisely this by offering exciting
insights into this condition now unfolding before us. Expertly
synthesizing debates in media and cultural theory, Miller and
Kraidy bring together new perspectives from across the globe to
make sense of our changing present.�
Ravi Sundaram, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies
