Radio in Small Nations : University of Wales Press : 9780708325438 : 0708325432 : 30 Dec 2012 : Whether at a local, national, or international level, radio has played and continues to play a key role in nurturing or denying?even destroying?people's sense of collective identity. The essays in this volume provide a historical and contemporary overview of radio in small nations. A number of representative small nations are featured: some grappling with new postcolonial identities and others still operating under repressive regimes; some struggling to find a new common purpose in the postindustrial age and others unifying previously ignored ethnic or language groups. As a whole, the collection strives to present diverse voices commenting on the influential and essential place of radio within these countries.
