ABOUT BOOK

Kurt Baschwitz (1886-1968) had a lifelong fascination for ‘the riddle of the ~mass’ in both its visible and invisible forms. He was a major pioneer of communication ~and media studies on the European continent, an early student ~of the social, political, and mass psychology of crowds, publics, audiences, ~and public opinion, as well as a versatile social historian. Half a century ~after his death, however, he risks being forgotten and misunderstood, falling ~through the cracks of history.
