Examines issues of television and cultural identities in the context of globalization, exploring issues of the global age such as media, globalization, language, gender, ethnicity, cultural politics, and identity. Presents the arguments that television is a proliferating resource for the construction of identities, and that cultural identity is not a fixed essential "thing" but a contingent social construction to which language is central. For use in courses in cultural studies, communication, media studies, and sociology. Barker is a lecturer in media and cultural studies at the University of Wollongong in Australia.

This book is the first study of disability in postcolonial fiction. Focusing on canonical novels, it explores the metaphorical functions and material presence of disabled child characters. Barker argues that progressive disability politics emerge from postcolonial concerns, and establishes dialogues between postcolonialism and disability studies.
