"Silvio Waisbord's journey across communication yields insights that are both contemplative, generative and bold. Making an impassioned call for recognition of the field's post-disciplinary status, Communication: A Post-Discipline should end up in the collections of all those who care about the discipline of communication moving forward."Barbie Zelizer, University of Pennsylvania"This magnificent book traces the history and continuing transformation of the communication field and suggests ways to find perspective in a post-discipline era. This is a must-read for all communication scholars."Lance Bennett, University of Washington
