The Dissident Press is an excellent contribution to the literature on the American mass media. Its greatest value is in providing a thread of continuity across time and among individuals who have created alternative publications. --Edwin Emery, University of Minnesota, and coauthor of The Press and America
Kessler challenges the idea that the worlds of media and journalism have ever conformed to a ′free marketplace′ image. This present volume investigates a handful of the many fringe groups who, denied access to the mainstream, started marketplaces of their own. Journalistic efforts in six groups are explored: Black Americans; utopians and communitarians; feminists; non-English speaking immigrants; populists, anarchists, socialists, communists; and pacifists, non-interventionists, and resisters from World Wars I and II. The result is an impressive study which shows that such groups have a diversity of origins, and a tradition which spans one and a half centuries.
