Ausgewählte Schriften 2. Rassismus und kulturelle Identität

Stuart Hall is not only one of the most important founders of Cultural Studies. His influence is particularly crucial because he continually engages with new theoretical and political questions, transcends boundaries, and maintains the commitment to uphold the irreconcilable tension between theory and practice. For him, theory is always an intervening theory in the interest of liberation. If this tension is lost, one may produce excellent intellectual work, but the intellectual practice, the politics, is lost. This volume discusses two opposing forms of cultural politics of "black" movements. Hall combines a presentation of historical material and theoretical currents with conceptual work on categories such as "culture," "identity," and "difference.".
