James Procter's introduction places Hall's work within its historical
contexts, providing a clear guide to his key ideas and influences, as
well as to his critics and his intellectual legacy. Stuart Hall has
been pivotal to the development of cultural studies during the past
forty years. Whether as director of the Centre for Contemporary Cultural
Studies, or as one of the leading public intellectuals of the postwar
period, he has helped transform our understanding of culture as both a
theoretical catagory and a political practice.
Topics include:*
popular culture and youth subcultures* the CCCS and cultural studies*
media and communication* racism and resistance* postmodernism and the
postcolonial* Thatcherism* identity, ethnicity, diaspora Stuart Hall is
the ideal gateway to the work of a critic described by Terry Eagleton as
'a walking chronicle of everything from the New Left to New Times,
Leavis to Lyotard, Aldermaston to ethnicity'
