Abstract
This interesting book seems not to be readily available in Western Europe. In recent years, with increasing immigration into Europe and political situations in, for instance, Israel/Palestine; Iraq and, probably most noticeably, the U.S.A. religion has suddenly returned to the forefront of academic discourse in the social sciences. In media studies in Britain, long a stronghold of the Marxist critique, this has been more than surprising.
