About this title

Book Description:

Bringing together a range of core texts into one volume, this acclaimed anthology offers the definitive resource in culture, media, and communication. The revised edition updates topics including race, culture, and new media, while retaining its original emphasis on the giant thinkers and "makers" of the field: from Gramsci, Bourdieu and Adorno, to Chomsky, Stuart Hall, and Angela McRobbie. New contributions include essays from Althusser's classic Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses through to Henry Jenkins, and a completely new section on Globalization and Social Movements. Each section features a substantial critical introduction, short introductions and full bibliographic citations to facilitate student and teacher engagement with this multidisciplinary and dynamic area of study.
