Filming Politics: Communism and the Portrayal of the Working Class at the National Film Board of Canada, 1939-46 - Khouri, Malek

As New; In this book, Khouri explores the work of the NFB during this period and argues that the political discourse of the films produced by this institution offered a counter-hegemonic portrayal of working class people and presented them as agents of social change. These films also saw an organic link between Canadian struggles for social progress, in the war against fascism and for peace, and those promoted at the time by the Soviet Union, Khouri also analyzes the various social, institutional and political elements that contributed to the formation of the NB's discourse.
