5.0 out of 5 stars essential, nothing else like it, June 8, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Marxism and the Interpretation of Culture (Paperback)
Thi is still a classic text, which no one interested in C.20 Marxism and the study of culture and society, can afford to miss. Many of these essays have gone on to achieve clasic status-- jameson, hall, west, spivak, lefebvre, laclau, pecheux and balibar. All great pieces. whats esp valuable are the exchanges b/w particpants-- this bk, includes highlights from the discussion sections after the talks.

The writing is uniformly excellent, and most are immediately accessible to non-academic intellectuals. Kudos to grossberg and nelson and the unit for criticism for putting this collection/event together years ago. If this bk goes out of print, it''l be a crime against humanity

2.0 out of 5 stars Mostly jargon-laden ..., May 7, 2001
By 
D. A. Hosek (Santa Monica, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Marxism and the Interpretation of Culture (Paperback)
An incredibly jargon-laden work. Sadly, many of the contributors really have nothing to say and spend a long time not saying it. On a few occasions, however, some of the contributions really shine and remind one that not all of academia is populated by mediocrity.
