Reviews / Votes
"Zo Druick is one of the promising members of a new generation of scholars whose work will change the direction of Canadian Film Studies." Gene Walz, University of Manitoba "Druick provides a subtle and well documented critique of the Film Board's role. Indeed, what is unique here is that the author so persuasively locates her critique in the ethos of the NFB's genesis and practice - the NFB's problem is that it is exactly what it was mandated to be." Seth Feldman, York University, Ontario "This book fills an important gap in the history of culture and media in Canada. Most valuable is Druick's demonstration of the ways in which Canadian cultural government policy and agencies tend to formulate their aims and practices in terms of a 'liberal nation-building project' as a form of 'middle way' politics." Kevin Dowler, York University, OntarioMore details
