Reviews

Jameson is one of the world's most eminent cultural theorists, but he is also a peerless literary critic in the classical sense of the term. -- Terry Eagleton Probably the most important cultural critic writing in English today. It can be truly said that nothing cultural is alien to him. -- Colin McCabe The most significant Marxist thinker in American culture. -- Cornel West
