Contesting Empire, Globalizing Dissent: Cultural Studies after 9/11 »

Norman K. Denzin, Distinguished Professor of Communications, Sociology, and the Humanities at the University of Illinois, is one of the world's leading authorities on qualitative research and cultural criticism, and the author of more than a dozen books.

Contesting Empire, Globalizing Dissent: Cultural Studies after 9/11 is a landmark book that launches the field of cultural studies into the next millennium. Leading scholars from cultural studies, education, gender studies, and sociology reposition critical cultural studies research around the goals of moral clarity and political intervention. Chapters range in focus from neoliberalism and democracy to America's war on kids and the cultural politics of national identity.
