More Description"The essays in Culture and Text represent an exciting and significant contribution to the burgeoning field of cultural studies by drawing together these seemingly disparate elements not just from a traditional narrative perspective, but from a close examination of textual images, imagery, non-linear, subaltern, and other non-hegemonic approaches, this collection provides a comprehensive study of the realities underlying what Spivak refers to as a 'space of difference' that represent the hybridity inherent in any culture, allowing fresh interpretations of old and new texts." Sheila Turek, Assistant Professor of French, Department of Languages and Literatures, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater "Written in a lucid and extremely engaging style, rich in rare and uniquely interesting archival content, and bringing into light issues that clearly hold an important relevance in the field, this timely edited volume maps out the directions that current scholarship in cultural and global studies can take and promises to open windows to paths of inquiry that favor a richly textured understanding of our human past and present, by promoting the emergence of new and multi-forms of knowledge about them."
