'In Public Relations and Nation Building, Toledano and McKie demonstrate that public relations is not a one-dimensional organizational activity. With clarity and persuasiveness, they connect public relations to principles of nation building, civil society, and functional society. Their book demonstrates how the profession, serving the citizens of and affected by a nation state in a time of international stress, can add value to society.'Robert L. Heath, Professor Emeritus of Communication, the University of Houston, USA'Wise, challenging, very well written and an important international contribution to research and discourse in public relations, McKie and Toledano’s Public Relations and Nation Building is critical analysis of a very high standard. Whatever your views on Israel and public relations, this book needs your consideration.'Tom Watson, Professor of Public Relations, Bournemouth University, UK'A unique historical account, drawing on oral testimony and archive sources, that positions public relations as central to national identity and nation building, Toledano and McKie’s insightful analysis also reflects on the emergence of public relations identities in a specific cultural context and the role such practitioners have played in shaping that context. The book goes beyond historical narrative to explore a number of central themes, among them power, propaganda, public diplomacy, professionalism and professionalization, but also raises fundamental questions regarding the conceptualization of public relations and the implications of this for wider scholarship within the field.'Jacquie L’Etang, Professor of Public Relations and Applied Communication, Queen Margaret University, UK"I think this is a terrific book that has collected unique stories that PR practitoners tell. I am asking for a second book that will also investigate the reception of these PR activities and how they work, sometimes perhaps above and beyond the call of duty." Dr Boaz. Hagin, Tel Aviv University"Toledano and McKee provide a comprehensive analysis of the role of communication—print media, visual media, spokenmedia, symbols, stories, and more—that served to maintain a Jewish community, culture, and religion despite millennia of diaspora, and it deals with the uses of all these techniques in building the new nation of Israel."Ray Hiebert, Public Relations Review"Toledano and McKie make a significant contribution to the knowledge of public relations practices in other areas of the world beyond the United States."Anat First, Neytana Academic College
