"science, technology and the ideologies of dominance". In Science (Open University, Milton Keynes 1997) Steve Fuller shows what science may look like to a Martian anthropologist. A good overview of the cultural studies of technology is found in Techno-Science and Cyber-Culture, edited by Stanley Aronowitz, Barbara Matinson and Michael Menser (Routledge, London 1996). Ziauddin Sardar and Jerome Ravetz provide an accessible introduction to the cultural politics of Cyberfutures (Pluto Press, London 1996). But there are no substitutes for Donna Haraway, Simians, Cyborgs and Women (Free Association Books, London 1991 ). Henry Louis Gates Jr.'s Figures in Black (Oxford University Press, Oxford 1987) takes issue with the notion of black literature as social realism. Black Literature and Literary Theory, edited by Gates (Routledge, London 1994) contains several noteworthy attempts to delineate the boundaries of black criticism . Beyond Eurocentrism and Multiculturalism , 2 volumes, (Common Courage Press, Monroe, Maine 1993) brings together the best of Cornel West.

Glenn Jordan and Chris Weedon's Cultural Politics (Blackwell, Oxford 1995) gives a comprehensive account of "class, gender, race and the postmodern world". Feminine Sentences by Janet Wolff (Polity Press, Oxford 1990) contains some penetrating words on women and culture. Getting the Message: News, Truth and Power, edited by John Eldridge (Routledge. London 1993) summarizes decades of research by the Glasgow University Media Group. The Media Reader, edited by Manuel Alvarado and John Thompson (BFI, London 1990) provides a sensual tour of the pleasures and expectations of films and television.
