“John Storey's lively and provocative history of popular
culture is interwoven with a characteristically clear and
intelligent critique of the politics of its operation. Storey
remains one of the most lucid and readable writers to be found in
cultural studies, and this is a wonderfully tight, punchy, and
illuminating book.” Graeme Turner, University of
Queensland
“Storey accomplishes something truly unprecedented in this
book as he traces the evolution of the idea of popular culture. His
cogent analyses of the key polemics are compelling because they
demonstrate so vividly why we still need cultural studies, if for
no other reason than to better understand how intellectuals imagine
ordinary people.” Jim Collins, University of Notre
Dame
"An excellent resource for academic libraries; as an introduction to cultural studies, this is hard to beat." Library Journal
