Never was this more true than in the late-19th and early 20th centuries, when it reflected the nationalist and imperialist ideologies current throughout Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eImperialism and Popular Culture\u003c\/em\u003e examines the various media through which nationalist ideas were conveyed in late-Victorian and Edwardian times—such as the theatre, \"ethnic\" shows, juvenile literature, education, and the iconography of popular art.

During this time, government agencies like the Empire Marketing Board sought to convince the public of the economic value of empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYouth organizations, which had propagated imperialist and militarist attitudes before the war, struggled to adapt to the new internationalist climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596654919916,"sku":"9780719018688","price":79.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780719018688-imperialism-and-popular-culture.jpg?v=1777934557","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/imperialism-and-popular-culture-by-john-m-mackenzie-9780719018688","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
