Summary

The book “An Introduction to Stuart Hall and Cultural Studies” by Sauli Havu and Juha Koivisto provides a detailed overview of the life and work of Stuart Hall and the development of cultural studies. The book skillfully combines a look at socio-political developments in the late 20th and early 21st centuries with the theoretical and academic work of the CCCS and Hall himself. Although a complementary look at the present of cultural studies would enrich the book, it nevertheless provides a comprehensive introduction to Hall's thinking and cultural studies in general.
