Title: Radio Voices:American Broadcasting,1922-1952
Review: The book's very title creates the impression that this one of the delightful compendiums of a general encyclopedic sort or perhaps even a history of announcers. Instead its contents are wedged between the tightly bound obsessions of all liberal academicians of our era: 1). the resolutely joyless comparison of past events and opinions held up to current era social standards and 2). a total preoccupation with racism and feminism and repression and "shallowism" and on and on and on.Unless your doctoral dissertation is about racism and the oppression of women in media, skip this dry, bitter tome and spend your money somewhere else!
