Meanwhile, in cities across the country, a handful of theatres began to show films in foreign languages. In the decade after the Second World War, these events were some of the earliest indications of the nationwide changes taking place in Canadian media as it responded to the new cultural, political, and economic visibility of cultural and linguistic minorities. Identity and Industry explores how ethnocultural media in Canada developed between the end of the Second World War and the arrival of digital media. Through chapters dedicated to film exhibition, newspapers, radio, and television, Mark Hayward documents the industrial and institutional frameworks that defined the role of media in Canadian multiculturalism. Drawing on extensive archival research, the book situates late twentieth-century "ethnic" media at the intersection of demand, cultural integration, and the changing economics of popular culture. As the development of ethnocultural media continues to shape Canadian society in the age of digital media, Identity and Industry provides richly detailed historical context for contemporary debates about identity and culture."-- Provided by publisher Analysis Canada Ethnic mass media Ethnicity in mass media Mass media and ethnic relations Mass media and minorities Minorities in mass media Minorities in the mass media industry Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes On-line resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed December 24, 2019) Subject Ethnic mass media -- Canada Minorities in the mass media industry -- Canada Mass media and minorities -- Canada Mass media and ethnic relations -- Canada Ethnicity in mass media.
