Most Helpful Customer Reviews   2 of 4 people found the following review helpful: useful for undergrad studies, 20 Nov 2003 By  J. Sanders "jensanders66" - See all my reviews    This review is from: The Visual Cultural Reader (Paperback) This is the more advanced text for undergraduate courses, which means there are no pictures or fun bits but its full of in-depth academic essays on various topics like identity and gender. It requires concentration to read and its heavy going but you need to read it to get the higher marks on essays.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
