Reviews

"These essays represent an original contribution to and sustained reflection on the central debates in critical cultural theory by one of its leading practitiioners and most engaged and distinctive voices." - Stuart Hall "Larry Grossberg's exposition of the history and structure of the problems defining cultural studies, the debate about postmodernism, and contemporary approaches to popular culture is exemplary." - Meaghan Morris "These essays constitute a distinctive and impressive body of work by a leading cultural studies scholar and theorist. Dancing in Spite of Myself significantly adds to the literature of cultural studies and provides a valuable service in bringing together a rich body of theory and criticism." - Tony Bennett
