Indigenous Language for Social Change Communication in the Global
South brings together voices from the margins to engage in dialogue
about common social change issues in Latin America, Africa, and
Asia. This book argues that resistance and social movements,
expressed in music and songs and exchanged via radio, remain
fundamental to ensure that the linguistic and cultural diversity of
the world progresses despite colonizing pressures. Contributors
present cases that explore how indigenous communities use mediums
such as the radio to help support their language, identity, and
expand their own social change. Highlighting the centrality of
music in the development of political discussions and language as a
central part of collective identity, contributors analyze how these
mediums function as both a vessel and a link for information and
cultural cohesion of those engaging in social change. Scholars of
communication, sociology, and development studies will find this
book of particular interest.
