But is the ubiquity of cultural products that glorify the security state a new phenomenon? Or have Uncle Sam and the nation's top media and entertainment companies been friends for a long time? Hearts and Mines examines the rise and reach of the US Empire's culture industry, a nexus between the US's security state and media firms and the source of American imperial culture. Although the US government and media corporations pursue different interests on the world stage (the former, national security, and the latter, profit), this book documents how structural alliances and the synergistic relationships between them support the production and flow of Empire-extolling cultural goods. Building on and extending Herbert I. Schiller's classic study of US Empire and communications, Tanner Mirrlees highlights the symbiotic geopolitical and economic relationships between the US state and media firms that underlie and drive the production and promotion of imperial culture."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Cultural industries $z United States. 650 0 $a Mass media $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Mass media $x Economic aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Mass media $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a National security $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a National security $x Economic aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a National security $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Civilization $x American influences. 650 0 $a Imperialism. 776 1 $a Mirrlees, Tanner, 1977-, author. $t Hearts and mines. $w (CaOONL)20159050812 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170203040706.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0B8E92E06B5411E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
