Description

Book Synopsis
This history of the long-overlooked Palestine Broadcasting Service (1936–1948) examines the role of government-sponsored radio in shaping Arab political and social life in the wake of British colonialism.

Trade Review
Stanton’s analysis of radio as a new tool of the colonial state contributes a great deal to studies of Mandate Palestine and imperialism. . . . In addition to Mandate, media studies, and imperialism specialists, general readers will also find much to interest them in this book. * Journal of Palestinian Studies *
