In 1931, the United States and France embarked on a broadcasting
partnership built around radio. Over time, the transatlantic sonic
alliance came to personify and to shape American-French relations
in an era of increased global media production and distribution.
Drawing on a broad range of American and French archives, Derek
Vaillant joins textual and aural materials with original data
analytics and maps to illuminate U.S.-French broadcasting's
political and cultural development. Vaillant focuses on the period
from 1931 until France dismantled its state media system in 1974.
His analysis examines mobile actors, circulating programs, and
shifting institutions that shaped international radio's use in
times of war and peace. He explores the extraordinary achievements,
the miscommunications and failures, and the limits of cooperation
between America and France as they shaped a new media environment.
Throughout, Vaillant explains how radio's power as an instantaneous
mass communications tool produced, legitimized, and circulated
various notions of states, cultures, ideologies, and peoples as
superior or inferior. A first comparative history of its subject,
Across the Waves provocatively examines how different strategic
agendas, aesthetic aims and technical systems shaped U.S.-French
broadcasting and the cultural politics linking the United States
and France.
