Mass media and cultural identity
By:Anura Goonasekera
Published on 1999-06-15 by Pluto Pr
This volume is the first in-depth work to assess the inter-relation between the media and ethnic violence in Asia written by local authors. Focusing on newspapers and television, the contributors - all eminent scholars in their field - examine the role of communication media in the management of ethnic relations in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore, and Sri Lanka.The study based on empirical data, reveals that the media undoubtedly can contribute significantly to ethnic peace and harmony. But, as the authors also demonstrate, the very same media can become enmeshed with ethnic loyalties and the cultivation of ethnic constituencies. Similarly, education is a crucial factor in the nurturing of understanding among different cultural groups. The authors show however that this requires a carefully planned program working through various institutions in society such as the school, the temple/church, mass media, family and other civic organizations. A loud and clear voice from Asia, this is an important contribution to the ongoing discourse on culture and ethnicity.
