  • Brings together key writings in the emergent field of the anthropology of media for the first time
  • Integrates key themes in the anthropology of media by means of editorial commentary
  • Explores the theoretical issues that have arisen from ethnographic studies of media
offers a critical overview of how mass media represents and constructs both Western and non-Western cultures.
