The Genius and the Goddess Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe Jeffrey Meyers

Meyers has crafted a richly nuanced dual biography based on his quarter-century friendship with Miller, interviews with major players of stage and screen during the postwar Hollywood era, and extensive archival research. “This superbly written, thoughtful work will have wide appeal among general readers and academic audiences and will reward readers with deeper insight into two famous personalities and the world they inhabited.”—Library Journal (starred review) “Prolific biographer Meyers is particularly well equipped for the task of gleaning something new from this heavily harvested field. . . . Meyers recognizes that Miller truly loved Monroe but finally ended the marriage when he realized she was destroying him. He’d spent three years working on a film for her (The Misfits), earning only her scorn, and her needs were too complex and her problems too intractable. In the final chapter, Meyers thoughtfully mines Miller’s last plays for nuggets about Monroe.” —Kirkus 384 pp. 6 x 9. 31 Black & White Photographs. 2009. 1 Cloth 978-0-252-03544-9. $29.95

The History of Communication

Jill Hills

How Free Can Religion Be?

“For the first time, the jockeying for position between British and U.S. authorities is brought forward as the organizing principle in international telecommunications system development during the first century of transnational network building.

Rather, she integrates the often discordant needs and demands of private corporations into her sweeping analysis.”—Dan Schiller, author of Digital Capitalism: Networking the Global Market System and How to Think about Information

Each of these four is explained in detail, with many excellent examples. . . . Highly recommended.”—Choice “This long-awaited book by a group of the most distinguished scholars of journalism and the media will define the terms of discussion of normative theory for the next generation.”—John C. Nerone, coauthor of The Form of News: A History

Le Jazz Jazz and French Cultural Identity Matthew F. Jordan

Jordan draws on sources including ephemeral critical writing in the press and twentieth-century French literature to trace the country’s reception of jazz, from the Cakewalk dance craze and the music’s significance as a harbinger of cultural recovery after World War II to its place within French ethnography and cultural hybridity.

Using a model of media and the social world developed by sociologists David Crouteau and William Hoynes, Becoming the Second City explores the infinitely complex relationship that has existed historically between Chicago and its news media. Richard Junger argues that not only did the news media make and remake the popular image of early Chicago, but the media itself was an invaluable tool in the creation and development of America’s “Second City.” 232 pp. 6 x 9. 10 Black & White Photographs. 2010. 60 *Cloth 978-0-252-03589-0. $70.00. 61 Paper 978-0-252-07785-2. $25.00

Amit M. Schejter

“A fascinating and highly readable contribution to our understanding of the fragile state of Israeli democracy. Schejter shows how painfully complex the very distinction between a democracy and a non-democracy really is.”—Daniel Dor, author of The Suppression of Guilt: The Israeli Media and the Reoccupation of the West Bank “Reassesses some of the tenets of traditional Zionist discourse and points critically to the roles that statism, cultural policies, and political economy have played in rendering the prevalent power imbalance in Israeli society.”—Yaron Shemer, assistant professor of Israeli culture and modern Hebrew, University of North Carolina 216 pp. 6 x 9. 3 Line Drawings, 7 Tables. 2009. 62 *Cloth 978-0-252-03458-9. $60.00. 63 Paper 978-0-252-07693-0. $20.00

Refiguring Mass Communication A History Peter Simonson

“This book is particularly powerful because, like rhetoric itself, it is not limited to any one discipline. Simonson uses cultural studies and rhetoric as energizing points of departure for rehabilitating and reinforcing the idea and social form of mass communication.”—Rosa A. Eberly, author of Citizen Critics: Literary Public Spheres Organized around narrative accounts of individuals and their communicative worlds, Refiguring Mass Communication illuminates significant but overlooked rhetorical episodes in history to enable modern-day readers to rehabilitate and reinvigorate their own engagements with mass communication. Peter Simonson compares his own vision of mass communication with distinct views articulated throughout history by Paul of Tarsus, Walt Whitman, Charles Horton Cooley, David Sarnoff, and Robert K. Merton, utilizing a collection of texts and tenets from a variety of time periods and perspectives. 280 pp. 6 x 9. 2010. 64 *Cloth 978-0-252-03517-3. $65.00. 65 Paper 978-0-252-07705-0. $25.00

Speech Rights in America

Everything Was Better in America

The First Amendment, Democracy, and the Media

Print Culture in the Great Depression

Laura Stein

David Welky

“The greatest strength of Speech Rights in America is Stein’s ability to look through the lens of the individual. Legal histories have been told for much too long from the omnipotent, often disconnected perspective of legal experts who tell us which case decisions are important and why. . . . The best way to get students engaged in any course material is to tell them the information is relevant to their lives. Stein does just that. She makes legal history relevant.”—Journalism & Mass Communication Educator

“A launching pad for students’ own exploration of values projected by mass media both today and in the past.” —Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly

184 pp. 6 x 9. 1 Table. 2007. 66 Paper 978-0-252-07536-0. $20.00

“There are few more combustible combinations than a father, a son, and a newspaper chain. . . . The story is told effectively . . . and is an excellent addition to the flourishing Illinois ‘History of Communication’ series.” —Columbia Journalism Review

Prologue to a Farce Communication and Democracy in America Mark Lloyd

“Mark Lloyd offers a wide-ranging chronicle of American communication policy from the founding of the republic through the present day. This work is unique among historical examinations of American communication policy in that it is less about reforming media than about reforming democracy by providing citizens with full access to important public information.” —American Journalism 352 pp. 6 x 9. 2006. 67 *Cloth 978-0-252-03104-5. $60.00. 68 Paper 978-0-252-07342-7. $25.00

Democracy, Inc. The Press and Law in the Corporate Rationalization of the Public Sphere David S. Allen

“Allen presents a clearly reasoned argument in place of table-pounding denunciations of the corporatization of the press and law. He attributes the problems of democracy neither to conspiracies nor to unbridled greed, but to the structure of a particular brand of capitalism whose modes of support he clearly identifies in law, making clear the route to real reforms in the process.” —Thomas Streeter, author of Selling the Air: A Critique of the Policy of Commercial Broadcasting in the United States 69 216 pp. 6 x 9. 2005. Cloth 978-0-252-02975-2. $30.00

Advertising on Trial Consumer Activism and Corporate Public Relations in the 1930s Inger L. Stole

“Advertising on Trial is filled with vivid visuals from advertising’s past and is one of the most complete scholarly treatments of the 1930s consumer movement. . . . Stole’s work here returns a missing part of history to the fore so that scholars and general audiences alike can benefit from knowing that advertising was not always considered a natural part of American life.”—American Journalism 312 pp. 6 x 9. 10 Black & White Photographs. 2006. 76 *Cloth 978-0-252-03059-8. $50.00. 77 Paper 978-0-252-07299-4. $25.00

And the value of the study is more than historical, for the methods of analysis and many of the conclusions apply readily to media today.”—CBQ (Communication Booknotes Quarterly) 320 pp. 6 x 9. 12 Black & White Photographs, 1 Line Drawing, 6 Tables. 2005. 78 Cloth 978-0-252-03010-9. $45.00

“Nord, . . . a skilled and incisive practitioner of journalism history, has collected in this volume his essays of the last twenty years, centered on the theme of newspapers and their communities. In the most entertaining, he traces the sources of today’s tabloid news to the bizarre occurrences recorded to show the divine hand at work in seventeenth-century New England. At the other end chronologically, he finds that the search of public, or civic, journalism for a single, unified community fails to come to grips with the realities of power in a divided, ‘interest-group society.’”—Columbia Journalism Review 2007. 312 pp. 6 x 9. 17 Tables. 80 Paper 978-0-252-07404-2. $20.00

“A brilliant, groundbreaking study that illuminates a heretofore little known era of Indian cinema. Its combination of rich historical research, rigorous analysis, and sophisticated critical insight marks the best, most effective film criticism.”—Corey K. Creekmur, coeditor of Cinema, Law, and the State in Asia

“Dunn puts the whole blaxploitation experience into logical context, explaining the social conditions of the era relating to race and gender that affected how the black community observed these films. . . . An essential companion to the black film studies genre. Recommended.”—Library Journal

Into the Vortex Female Voice and Paradox in Film Britta Sjogren

“What wowed the crowd . . . was ‘Levels of Narration: Multiplicity and Voice’. This intriguing section really explains how film and sound mix and meld and really give the reader an insider’s look of how a story develops and how we process it based on sights and sounds presented to us. The world of cinema has been home to a number of films that gave voice to women but never before have the voices off and on screen been so dissected and investigated.”—Film International

A Great Big Girl Like Me The Films of Marie Dressler Victoria Sturtevant

“An important, groundbreaking work. In reminding us of the stardom of Marie Dressler . . . Sturtevant not only tells the definitive story of this unjustly forgotten figure, but calls into question the very idea that stardom is simply an ‘industry of desire.’”—David Desser, coeditor of Hollywood Goes Shopping
