Why Cultural Studies? is a rallying call for a reinvigoration of the project of cultural studies that provides a critical analysis of its meteoric rise to the academic fore and makes a convincing argument for the pressing need for a renewed investment in, and re-evaluation of, its core ideals.
* Rodman argues that there are valuable lessons we can learn from cultural studies' past that have the potential to lead cultural studies to an invigorated and viable future
