DAVEY, FRANK
Reading Kim Right
Vancouver, BC, Canada: Talonbooks, Limited, 1993. First Edition. Paperback. ISBN: 0889223424. 175pp. A book not about Kim Campbell, but about "Kim Campbell." It addresses not a person but a public image that has come to Canadian national consciousness in a cluster of photos, quips, speeches and headline adjectives. Suggests that such a web of images is all any voter has available for judgement in a modern democracy and further, that in the late 20th century democracy called Canada, we get not the candidate we deserve, but the candidate of our desires. (Ms. Campbell and her party were all but destroyed in the federal election which occurred shortly after this book was printed.) Light wear. Clean and unmarked. Nice copy.; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; CABINET OFFICERS POLITICIANS PRESS POLITICS BIOGRAPHY AUTOBIOGRAPHY POLITICAL LANGUAGE ARTS DISCIPLINES JOURNALISM SCIENCE GENERAL Kim Campbell Tory Tories Canada Progressive Conservative Spin Media Manipulation Control 175pp. Former owner's blind stamp. Very Good .
