"Combining a thoughtful assessment of the intellectual roots of
cultural studies with an impassioned inquiry into its future
directions, this original and intellectually vibrant collection of
essays is an important intervention in the field. By rigorously
insisting on the importance of questions about social structure and
social process to cultural studies’ past, the authors of
these essays demonstrate how a more socially oriented approach can
revivify the tradition and strengthen its capacity fir practical
and political intervention in the future. A ‘must read’
for anyone interested in the work that cultural studies can do."
– Janice Radway, Duke University
"In this exciting collection, Long has drawn together scholars whose work represents the potential shared concerns and characteristics of sociology and cultural studies: that of responding to changes in the world and maintaining a sense of a project for a more egalitarian society. It will be of interest to sociologists and cultural studies scholars and students alike as a set of invigorating challenges to both fields." – Ann Gray, University of Birmingham, UK
