About the Author: John Tomlinson completed a Ph.D. on critial theory at the University of Bradford in 1985. 200 Pages Social Science, Anthropology Series Name: Parallax: Re-Visions of Culture and Society Description Book Synopsis Cultural imperialism is treated as the central critical concept in a number of related disourses: the debate about 'Media Imperialism'; the discourse of national cultural identity; the critique of multinational capitalism and the critique of cultural modernity. Analysis of these various discourses reveals major problems in the way in which the idea of cultural -- as distinect from economic or political -- imperialism is forrmulated.

The author suggests that the critical discourses of cultural imperialism are bext understood, not in terms of natural cultures, but as protests against the rise of global cultural modernity
