This handbook comprises fresh and incisive research focusing on
African media, culture and communication. The chapters from a
cross-section of scholars dissect the forces shaping the field
within a changing African context. It adds critical corpora of
African scholarship and theory that places the everyday worlds,
needs and uses of Africans first. The book goes beyond critiques of
the marginality of African approaches in media and communication
studies to offer scholars the theoretical and empirical toolkit
needed to start building critical corpora of African scholarship
and theory that places the everyday worlds, needs and uses of
Africans first. Decoloniality demands new epistemological
interventions in African media, culture and communication, and this
book is an important interlocutor in this space. In a globally
interconnected world, changing patterns of authority and power pose
new challenges to the ways in which media institutions are
constituted and managed, as well as how communication and media
policy is negotiated and the manner in which citizens engage with
increasing media opportunities. The handbook focuses on the
interrelationships of the local and the global and the concomitant
consequences for media practice, education and citizen engagement
in today's Africa. Altogether, the book foregrounds convivial
epistemologies relevant for locating African media and
communication in the pluriverse. This handbook is an essential read
for critical media, communications, cultural studies and journalism
scholars.
