Description: One of the leading figures in cultural studies offers a powerful critique of the present state of the field and, more broadly, of the intellectual left, especially in the Anglo-American academy.
Review Quotes: "Cultural Studies in the Future Tense is an immensely enjoyable book to read, fizzing with ideas and of real relevance to the current situation. It is also a brave book: defining cultural studies is always going to be a difficult task, even for one of its founders. Yet Lawrence Grossberg does not shrink from the task, and the political emphasis he places on the future and imagination seems to me to be absolutely right. The Left needs to think as never before about what it is doing and why."--Nigel Thrift, author of Non-Representational Theory: Space, Politics, Affect
