In this critical examination of the beginnings of mass
communications research in the United States, written from the
perspective of an educational historian, Timothy Glander uses
archival materials that have not been widely studied to document,
contextualize, and interpret the dominant expressions of this field
during the time in which it became rooted in American academic
life, and tries to give articulation to the larger historical
forces that gave the field its fundamental purposes. By
mid-century, mass communications researchers had become recognized
as experts in describing the effects of the mass media on learning
and other social behavior. However, the conditions that promoted
and sustained their authority as experts have not been adequately
explored. This study analyzes the ideological and historical forces
giving rise to, and shaping, their research.

Inexcusable Omissions explores the work of Clarence Karier and his impact on critical scholarship in the history of U.S. education. Twenty authors contribute essays that examine Karier's influence on the study of a wide range of issues central to the field, articulate the theoretical approaches that have guided Karier's inquiry, and engage the reader in biographical reflection. The essays converge on the complexities of new liberal social and educational theory and the impact that these ideas have had on the development of the American public school system. This is the landscape of the humanity and legacy of Clarence Karier as a historian of democracy's conscience and one of its most committed educators.
