In December 1921, France broadcast its first public radio program
from a transmitter on the Eiffel Tower. In the decade that
followed, radio evolved into a mass media capable of reaching
millions. Crowds flocked to loudspeakers on city streets to listen
to propaganda, children clustered around classroom radios, and
families tuned in from their living rooms. Radio and the Politics
of Sound in Interwar France, 1921-1939 examines the impact of this
auditory culture on French society and politics, revealing how
broadcasting became a new platform for political engagement,
transforming the act of listening into an important, if highly
contested, practice of citizenship. Rejecting models of
broadcasting as the weapon of totalitarian regimes or a tool for
forging democracy from above, the book offers a more nuanced
picture of the politics of radio by uncovering competing
interpretations of listening and diverse uses of broadcast sound
that flourished between the world wars.
