商品簡介
Although varied in their approaches and in their disciplinary and geographic perspectives, the 19 papers presented here by Hamm (sociology, U. of Trier, Germany) and Smandych (sociology, U. of Manitoba, Canada) are united in their belief that imperial informational and cultural power can be as decisive for social control as armies and police. Other common themes that arise as the authors critically interrogate cultural imperialism include the historical development of media imperialism; the confluence between neo- liberalism, globalization, and cultural imperialism; issues of linguistic and ecological imperialism; and connections linking postcolonialism and cultural imperialism.
