In this chapter power to the people, the famous political figure of Evita is the main focus, but one part which assisted in getting Evita’s powerful voice heard was the nifty contraption- the radio. This chapter really fascinated me for a number of reason but one thing that stuck out so strikingly was the impact the radio had. The radio in combination with the powerful voice of Evita behind it, had the ability to get the attention of an entire nation- a power non-existent before. Dawson makes the point that prior to the creation of the radio, speech was only something that would happen in close, intimate distances, but because of these technological advances the people in a sense were able to share this intimate moment with the leader of their country and additionally with the whole country joining in too. What this meant was that people had a chance to truly feel like they were participating in their country. Having the ability to even just listen and hear what their leader had to say was a huge step forward. Reading this chapter not only was interesting because it showcased a powerful female figure but it also gave incite into the power of technology, which can soon be forgotten in a world of tablets, laptops and iphones.
