"This dictionary of cultural studies provides a handy and
wonderfully comprehensive guide- it doesn’t purport to tell
the whole story, but it does offer to introduce readers and point
out further paths. This short dictionary is a wonderful addition to
the world of cultural studies. Students will find it a godsend;
teachers, a springboardto an exciting intellectual milieu within
communication studies; and libraries, a hard-to-keep-the shelves
volume."
