The Wireless World sets out a new research agenda for the history
of international broadcasting, and for radio history more
generally. It examines global and transnational histories of
long-distance wireless broadcasting, combining perspectives from
international history, media and cultural history, the history of
technology, and sound studies. It is a co-written book, the result
of more than five years of collaboration. Bringing together their
knowledge of a wide range of different countries, languages, and
archives, the co-authors show how broadcasters and states deployed
international broadcasting as a tool of international communication
and persuasion. They also demonstrate that by paying more attention
to audiences, programmes, and soundscapes, historians of
international broadcasting can make important contributions to
wider debates in social and cultural history. Exploring the idea of
a 'wireless world', a globe connected, both in imagination and
reality, by radio, The Wireless World sheds new light on the
transnational connections created by international broadcasting.
Bringing together all periods of international broadcasting within
a single analytical frame, including the pioneering days of
wireless, the Second World War, the Cold War, and the decades since
the fall of the Berlin Wall, the study reveals key continuities and
transformations. It looks at how wireless was shaped by
internationalist ideas about the use of broadcasting to promote
world peace and understanding, at how empires used broadcasting to
perpetuate colonialism, and at how anti-colonial movements
harnessed radio as a weapon of decolonization.
