Futile attempt at cultural studies Adrian C. Columbia Ryan (2010) attempts to cover the various topics within media and cultural studies, but sadly ends up contradicting himself more than anything with biased information and stereotypes. Although this was a great first attempt at a textbook designed for the graduate student, I found the overall material to be lacking and insufficient.. One Star Robert Hunter I just need it for class. I did not understand it.
