Produktbeschreibung

"George Yudice's book demonstrates more clearly than any other I know how deeply and inextricably culture is today, in the era of globalization, embedded in economic circuits and political regimes. His provocative analyses of the function of culture in contexts throughout the Americas give us a new and powerful model for cultural studies."--Michael Hardt, coauthor of "Empire"
