The Anthropology of Media: A Reader

Brings together key writings in the emergent field of the anthropology of media for the first time
Integrates key themes in the anthropology of media by means of editorial commentary
Explores the theoretical issues that have arisen from ethnographic studies of media

offers a critical overview of how mass media represents and constructs both Western and non-Western cultures.
