Description for Communities of the Air: Radio Century, Radio Culture
paperback. Affirms the importance of invention of radio and explores how radio creates sets of overlapping communities of the air, including those who study and theorize radio as a technological, social, cultural, and historical phenomenon. This work explores radio's role in shaping Anglo-American culture and society since the early twentieth century. Editor(s): Squier, Susan Merrill. Num Pages: 336 pages, 8 illus. BIC Classification: APW; JFC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 5969 x 3963 x 25. Weight in Grams: 522.
A pioneering analysis of radio as both a cultural and material production, Communities of the Air explores radio’s powerful role in shaping Anglo-American culture and society since the early twentieth century. Scholars and radio writers, producers, and critics look at the many ways radio generates multiple communities over the air—from elite to popular, dominant to resistant, canonical to transgressive. The contributors approach radio not only in its own right, but also as a set of practices—both technological and social—illuminating broader issues such as race relations, gender politics, and the construction of regional and national identities.
