Reviews
"Shah's extensive archival research is really the treasure of The Production of Modernization . He has unearthed and smartly contextualized dozens of fascinating documents that help to frame not only Daniel Lerner's career but wider currents in Cold War social science that Lerner reflected. I can't emphasize enough how impressive is the author's close, almost obsessive reading of the archival material. The Production of Modernization makes a genuine contribution to scholarship." --Jefferson Pooley, Assistant Professor of Media and Communication at Muhlenberg College, "Shah’s extensive archival research is really the treasure of The Production of Modernization .

The Production of Modernization makes a genuine contribution to scholarship." -Jefferson Pooley, Assistant Professor of Media and Communication at Muhlenberg College, "Shah probes the origins and underpinnings of modernization, which he argues has defined US international policy for the past seven decades... Tying the concept of modernization to social scientist Daniel Lerner's book The Passing of Traditional Society: Modernizing the Middle East (1958), the author provides abundant evidence that [Daniel] Lerner's ideas are at the core of US Middle Eastern policy and infuse two generations of scholarship about the cultural influence of mass media.... This look at the impact of Lerner's modernization theories on US global policies makes for engaging reading.... Well written and well annotated, this insightful volume... Will serve those interested in mass communication, diplomacy, and international relations. Summing Up: Recommended." Choice , September 2011"The book is well written and clearly organized.... The book's central contribution is its deep and nuanced telling of how Passing of Traditional Society came together- historically, intellectually, geopolitically, culturally.'- Contemporary Sociology , January 2013
