Cultural
Politics is a welcome and innovative addition. In an academic universe
already well populated with journals, it is carving out its own unique
place—broad and a bit quirky. It likes to leap between the theoretical
and the concrete, so that it is never boring and often filled with
illuminating glimpses into the intellectual and cultural worlds.
