A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies
Blackwell Companions in Cultural Studies
Advisory editor: David Theo Goldberg, University of California, Irvine
This series aims to provide theoretically ambitious but accessible volumes devoted to the
major fields and subfields within cultural studies, whether as single disciplines (film
studies) inspired and reconfigured by interventionist cultural studies approaches, or
from broad interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary perspectives (gender studies, race and
ethnic studies, postcolonial studies). Each volume sets out to ground and orientate the
student through a broad range of specially commissioned articles and also to provide the
more experienced scholar and teacher with a convenient and comprehensive overview of
the latest trends and critical directions. An overarching Companion to Cultural Studies
will map the territory as a whole.
