A study of technology and nationalism and how they have shaped twenty-first century Canada.
Revisiting Marshall McLuhan's work on the ways that technologies influence societies, Adria reconsiders the effects technologies have had on Canadian regionalism and nationalism. Offering key insights into media history, the author outlines the influence that newspapers, radio, and television have had in forming a mindset ready to welcome the internet age. As the digital revolution continues to shape the world into a global village, Technology and Nationalism provides a detailed and overdue reflection on the influence of technology on the social and political bonds we form and inhabit.
"This well-organized, thoughtful, six-chapter volume offers a critical survey of the major theories that connect nationalism to ethnicity, capitalism, and modernity. This book challenges the reader to think about how regions and nations will cultivate modern citizens in the era of the Internet and other rapidly developing technologies. Highly recommended." - Choice
