James W. Carey, by the time of his death in 2006, was a towering figure in communication research in the U.S. In this book, Pooley provides a critical introduction to Carey’s work, tracing the evolution of his media theorizing from his graduate school years through to the publication in 1989, of his landmark Communication as Culture. The book is an attempt to understand the unusual if also undeniable significance that Carey holds for so many communication scholars, as well as making his work accessible to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students.
Jefferson Pooley (PhD., Columbia University) is associate professor of media and communication at Muhlenberg College. He is co-editor of The History of Media and Communication Research (2009) and Media & Social Justice (2011).
