The work of Stuart Hall has been central to the formation and development of cultural studies as an international discipline. Stuart Hall: Critical Dialogues in Cultural Studies, an invaluable collection of writings by and about Hall, provide a representative selection of his enormously influential writings on cultural studies and its concerns: the relationship with Marxism; postmodernism in cultural and political thought; the development of cultural studies as an international and postcolonial phenomenon; and Hall's engagement with urgent and abiding questions of race, ethnicity and identity.

In addition to presenting classic writings by Hall and interviews with Hall in dialogue with Kuan-Hsing Chen, the collection provides a detailed analysis of his work and illustrates how his influence is felt by those doing the most important work in the field of cultural criticism.
