Page 2 - Critical Dialogues in Cultural Studies

Stuart Hall

Stuart Hall’s work has been central to the formation and development of
cultural studies as an international discipline. Stuart Hall: Critical
Dialogues in Cultural Studies is an invaluable collection of writings by and
about Stuart Hall. The book provides a representative selection of Hall’s
enormously influential writings on cultural studies and its concerns: the
relationship with marxism; postmodernism and ‘New Times’ in cultural
and political thought; the development of cultural studies as an
international and postcolonial phenomenon and Hall’s engagement with
urgent and abiding questions of ‘race’, ethnicity and identity.
In addition to presenting classic writings by Hall and new interviews
with Hall in dialogue with Kuan-Hsing Chen, the collection provides a
detailed analysis of Hall’s work and his contribution to the development of
cultural studies by leading cultural critics and cultural practitioners. The
book also includes a comprehensive bibliography of Stuart Hall’s writings.
