by Noah Richler
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
A provocative examination of how communications has shaped the language of the media, and vice versa, and how rhetoric shapes how Canadians thinks of themselves as a nation and Canada's engagement in peacekeeping, war, and on the international stage. Where once Canada wielded the myth of itself as a peacekeeping nation, the past decade has seen a marked shift away from this, emphasizing the Canadian soldier as warrior. Canada has made large financial investments in the apparatus of war and as the realities of war are brought home, Richler contends that it's crucial we understand our national perspective on war. Noah Richler is a prize-winning producer and host of documentaries, a literary columnist and writes for journals. Public Policy, Security, Canadian Author
