Michael Traber, Smb, Bibliography

摘要

Michael Traber was born in Switzerland on 5 July 1929 where his secondary education took place during the years of the Second World War. In 1956 he was ordained as a Roman Catholic priest into the Bethlehem Mission Society from where he went to the USA (1956-60) to study sociology and mass communication at Fordham University and New York University (Ph.D. in Philosophy). His doctoral thesis was called The Treatment of the Little Rock, Arkansas, School Integration Incident. It studied the degree and focus of attention given by the daily press of South Africa, West Nigeria, and Ghana to what was one of the most dramatic racial conflicts in the USA of the 1950s. Journalism, racism, and Africa defined an intellectual territory that Mike vigorously pursued in subsequent years.
