Merging concepts from business studies, postcolonial studies, queer studies, and literary and cultural studies in an informed way, Critical Branding: Postcolonial Studies and the Market sets on a thorough theoretical footing a range of categories which, while increasingly current, remain surprisingly obscure, such as the market, marketing, branding, and market forces.
