Containing over 200 entries on key concepts and theorists, the Dictionary provides an unparalled guide to the terrain of cultural studies. The definitions are authoritative, stimulating and written in an accessible style. There are up-to-date entries on new concepts and innovative approaches.

"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."

Paul A. Soukup

The Dictionary is very good for students, who want easy access to well writen and short paragraphs about many essential subjects in Cultural Studies. I recommend this book for students of Culture.
