The Richard Dyer reader attempts to pay attention to all three facets, in isolation and in combination, by providing a substantive introduction to his output over a span of more than five decades. ... Dyer has used this composite voice and worldview to forge and present vital, ground-breaking contributions to a number of fields: cultural studies, film and television studies, lesbian and gay studies, whiteness studies. In the 1970s and 1980s, as he established his career and profile, he made key contributions to -- and thus helped to shape -- all of these nascent disciplines. He often did this in contrast to emerging orthodoxies."--Introduction, page 2.
