Patrick J. Daley and Beverly A. James, associate professors of
communication at the University of New Hampshire, are the authors of a
new book entitled "Cultural Politics and the Mass Media: Alaska Native
Voices." Published under the University of lllinois's series "The
History of Communication," this book reveals how newspapers, radio
stations, and television programs became strategic sites of Native
resistance to the economic and cultural agendas of non-Native settlers.
Through empirically-grounded case studies, the authors demonstrate that
freedom for indigenous peoples is not only premised on control over
their political economy, but also on their capacity to tell their own
stories. In so doing, they develop a powerful, historically grounded
argument for understanding cultural persistence as a valuable and vital
form of self-determination.
This book will be of interest to Northern Studies scholars and students.
