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. Cultural Imperialism deals with issues ranging from the ideological effects of imported cultural products, to the process of cultural homogenization, to the nature of cultural autonomy. 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.

Industry Reviews

""John Tomlinson set out to challenge many of the hidden and not-so-hidden assumptions in talk about cultural imperialism, and by the finish he has completely reshaped the debate... Tomlinson has done all of us a great service.""
