Arguments in Cultural Theory

Produktbeschreibung

"An excellent, compelling overview and "mise en question" of subaltern studies. At once clear and conceptually sophisticated, this book engagingly rehearses many of the basic issues, texts and problems of the field but is in no way derivative. It is an intelligent, thorough, thoughtful 'reading' of an increasingly important area of study."-- Brad Epps, Harvard University
