by Patrick Fuery, Nick Mansfield

The second edition of Cultural Studies and the New Humanities provides a comprehensive overview of issues in the humanities at the turn of the new millennium, providing historical background, defining key terms, and introducing the ideas of key thinkers. This second edition has been thoroughly
revised and updated, and new chapters have been added about the rise of visual cultures and the fierce contemporary debate between identity politics and queer theory.

Interesting to read as a former student of sociology and someone who thinks philosophy is important, and even more important, questioning the basis of knowledge systems. A little dry though towards the end, relating those theories to everyday events would have helped.
