Abstract

[Extract] With the current growing interest in media and the global economy, Don Slater's New Media, Development and Globalization may appear to be a straightforward, state-of-things type of book, but behind the cover it is a deconstructionist critique of the titular concepts. New Media's title dramatically contrasts with the book's content, as Slater breaks down each of the three elements from a universally applicable, taken-for-granted object to a culturally constructed network of people and things that must be constantly negotiated. By the book's end, Slater challenges core dogmas in order to promote change and growth.
