Some of These Days
This book shows how interwar European audiences, artists, and intellectuals particularly associated with modernism, used Black American culture-for which “jazz” was often a shorthand-to negotiate the disorientating experience of modernity and modernization. One manifestation of this process was the fashionable Negrophilia of the 1920s, the decade in which the two most successful Black American stars of their era first made their names: the dancer…

As It Happened … Borderline, the Uncanny and the Cosmopolitan
The borderline has the air of a place where the uncanny belongs: an intermediate and uneasy zone between different states, a no-man’s-land both politically and existentially. The spatial metaphor does not altogether fit, however, at least not in thinking about Freud’s 1919 essay on ‘The “Uncanny”’. In good Kantian fashion, Freud’s aim there is to draw a conceptual borderline around what is specific and unique to the Unheimlich . The term, he ackn…
Internationalisation, Diversity and the Humanities Curriculum
This article stages a dialogue between cosmopolitanism and multiculturalism in order to think through what is at stake in demands that universities should produce graduates who are sensitive to social diversity and attuned to the contemporary realities of globalisation. The argument is that, although ‘graduate attributes’ are no doubt an effective management tool in a massified higher education system, they can also be used to focus attention on …
What's new? A letter to Terry Flew
Dear Terry, Thanks for letting me see your article on ‘Creativity, the “new humanism” and cultural studies’. As always, it contains much to admire and think about. Reading it was a frustrating expe

Cultural Remix
What have black hair-styles got to do with politics? Does sex have a history? What effect has the Walkman had on how we listen to music? What have Margaret Thatcher and Ruth Ellis got in common? This book shows how key debates of the 1980s and 90s have shaped the agenda of cultural politics in the day-to-day consumption and production of popular culture. The essays illustrate how ideas of cultural theory, ways of reading the popular and the polit…
The Colour of Love
Subjectivity and government
This book is reviewed as an example of the manner in which cultural critique approaches the question of the formation and regulation of personal capacities and conducts. Despite its sophistication and power, it is argued that the dialectical character of this critique leaves it incapable of interrogating its two central objects: subjectivity and government. As a results, Donald's critique retains the notion of subjectivity and its unconscious for…
Dewey-eyed Optimism
In 1983, I ended an article about education after four years of Thatcherism by quoting Raymond Williams from The Long Revolution. The old privileges and barriers had gone, he had argued in 1961. The question was now ‘whether we replace them by the free play of the market
Interesting times
The agenda of the Education Reform Act (1988) and the White Paper Broadcasting in the '90s: Competition, Choice and Quality is to reorganise the way that the social goods of education and broadcasting are dis tributed, and so to change the ways in which govemment/citizen relations are instituted and regulated. Much of the opposition to these changes renders itself ineffective by speaking in the terms of a cultural 'welfare statism: New alternativ…

Textile Workers and Union Sentiment
Although southern textile workers typically are portrayed as anti-union and extremely deferential, there is little empirical evidence to support such an assertion. We present data from 208 textile workers in a southern textile community without any unionized mills. We find that paternalistic class relations are still a factor in worker attitudes but that workers also express higher levels of activism and union support than expected. The continued…
