Culture and Power is a cultural history of the concept of power in cultural studies. It traces the uptake of the concept from the mid-1970s, the reasons that motivated its adoption and the effects it has had on the shape of the field. It is not concerned with theories of power so much as a prior question: why the concept of power in the first place?<BR>
