Review:
`dazzling theoretical display'
Xon De Ros, TLS
`they should provoke interesting questions among specialists.'
G.W.McDonogh, Choice, April 2001
`Smith assembles unusual connections that interrogate the meaning of modernity in broad terms of time, space, and subjectivity.'
G.W.McDonogh, Choice, April 2001
`Skilfully drawing upon his own work and that of others in the field ... Smith forces us to reassess our preconceptions and attitudes towards those who shape contemporary Spanish society. This gives us a clearer understanding of where modern Spain is coming from and where it is going.'
British Bulletin of Publications, No.104 (2001)
`unashamedly scholarly approach'
British Bulletin of Publications, No.104 (2001)
`With Spanish cultural studies at a relatively elementary stage, this publication by the respected Hispanist Paul Julian Smith is to be welcomed.'
British Bulletin of Publications, No.104 (2001)
`one of the book's greatest achievements is the way that it draws attention to the specificity of individual works while attempting at the same time to integrate them into an objective account of Spanish cultural production and consumption'
David Vilaseca, Times Higher Education Supplement
`inspiring and rigorous take on contemporary Spanish culture'
David Vilaseca, Times Higher Education Supplement
`academically impeccable ... attentive to the multiplicity of cultural formations characteristic of contemporary Spanish society'
