Exploring Indigenous activism through the lens of media practices,
this book examines the Indigenous media that has emerged in
Argentina since the introduction of legislation in 2009 intended to
promote diversity and access in radio and television media
production. Francesca Belotti provides insights into the political
and cultural matrix, attitudes of resistance and empowerment, and
the outward and inward direction of Indigenous activism by
unpacking the media practices that unfold in Indigenous radio and
television stations in Argentina. The theoretical framework
combines studies on indigeneity, social/decolonial movements and
media practices, and draws on interviews conducted with Indigenous
media practitioners from different Indigenous populations around
Argentina. The book examines how media practices can help support
and sustain Indigenous political and cultural activism and the
process of identity self-ascription. It also addresses the complex
negotiation between indigenizing media and assimilating the
mainstream, as well as coping with other practical constraints.
This book will be of interest both to students and scholars of
Indigenous Studies, Decolonial and Postcolonial Studies, Cultural
Studies, Latin American Studies, Media Studies, and Social
Movements, as well as media activists and practitioners globally.
