Reviews / Votes
"Zoe 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." 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 the Canadian government and its agencies tend to formulate their cultural policy, aims, and practices in terms of a 'liberal nation-building project' as a form of 'middle way' politics."
