Communication Traditions in 20th-century AustraliaCommunication Traditions in 20th Century Australia examines the idea of communication in terms of an earlier Australian preoccupation with the conquest of distance, which is being replaced by concern over the social effects of Australia's 'new' proximity to Asia and its increasing multiculturalism and gender consciousness. The book discusses the changing nature of people's concepts of communication throughout the century, and looks at what might happen in the future. |
