Cultural Imperialism

In Cultural Imperialism John Tomlinson deals with issues ranging from the ideological effects of imported cultural products to the process of cultural homogenization to the nature of cultural autonomy. He examines a number of related discourses: thedebate about media imperialism the discourse of national cultural identity; the critique of multinational capitalism and the critique of cultural modernity. His analysis reveals major problems in the way in which the idea of cultural as distinct from economic or political imperialism is formulated.
