African Media and Communication (eBook, ePUB)

Foundational Conversations
Redaktion: Milton, Viola C.; Mano, Winston

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides an important set of critical reflections from a selection of foundational scholars of African media and communication studies through biographical method. The book interrogates the center of mainstream academic scholarship by providing the foundational history and origins of an Africanist conceptual model while highlighting its significance globally.

The editors use biographical and life story interviews to critically review the respondents' interpretations of their key works and arguments in relation to key moments in the field, the continent and globally. Though the book is focussed on recovering pioneering arguments by key thinkers in African media and communication, efforts of individual academics are to be understood in the context of their work with others and within institutions that are networked, locally and globally. By bringing together many of the leading figures of African communication and media studies in a single volume, this book provides a critical corrective to the dearth of knowledge and information about who the key thinkers are and what their key arguments, theories and models for media and communication in African contexts entail.

As such, it will be of interest to scholars of media and communications in Africa, and the global south.
