Although new media technologies are transforming the entire world including the Middle East, these debates have largely focused on Western societies.This book provides the first study of the transformation of a Middle Eastern society, Kurdistan, in the context of the introduction of printing, recorded music, radio, television, and the Internet. It analyzes the complex and often conflictual interactions of media technologies, culture, statehood, nationalism and globalization.Hassanpour, Amir is the author of 'Oral And Written Traditions Of Kudistan ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780415341622 and ISBN 0415341620.
