| Summary: | "Listening In is the first in-depth history of how radio culture and content have kneaded and expanded the American psyche. Susan Douglas explores how listening has altered our day-to-day experiences and our own generational identities, cultivating different modes of listening in different eras; how radio has shaped our views of race, gender roles, ethnic barriers, family dynamics, leadership, and the generation gap. With her trademark wit, Douglas has created an eminently readable cultural history of radio."--BOOK JACKET. |
