Summary
"This handbook comprises fresh and incisive research focusing on African media, culture and communication. The diverse chapters from a cross-section of scholars dissect the forces shaping the field within an African context and build critical corpora of African scholarship and theory that places the everyday worlds, needs and uses of Africans first. The chapters provide historical and critical analysis of evolving types of communication and media in Africa as well as emerging trends in media ownerships in Africa, users and audiences, the role of external forces in shaping media, language and content issues, economic and policy dimensions at a time when the political, economic and technological contexts in which media organizations operate are also rapidly globalizing. The contributors foreground African perspectives as they situate African media, culture and communication studies in historical, cultural and global contexts. Premised on the view that African communication is integral to processes of everyday culture and modernity in Africa, this handbook is an essential read for students and scholars of African Media and Communications, Critical Media and Journalism"-- Provided by publisher
