Editorial Reviews

Featured in the Times Higher Education Supplement textbook round-up.

This is an extremely readable book, providing a very useful history and many references to texts that form part of the "canon" of cultural studies work... I already know to whom I will recommend this book- I can see a place for it on many people's shelves.

'Young People, Popular Culture and Education is a magisterial treatment of the multiple and complex intersections between cultural studies and education. With a particular and sustained attention to youth culture, Richards moves between theoretical and empirical material with sustained, provocative, and illuminating grace. While this text is particularly well suited for classroom use, it can be usefully read by scholars with a range of experience and backgrounds. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.' Greg Dimitriadis, Professor of Educational Leadership and Policy, University at Buffalo, SUNY, USA
