Indigenous Language Media, Language Politics and Democracy in Africa [Hardcover]

This book deals with the often-neglected link between indigenous languages, media and democracy in Africa. It recognizes that the media plays an amplifying role that is vital to modern-day expression, public participation and democracy but that without the agency to harness media potential, many Africans will be excluded from public discourse.Brilliant Mhlanga, University of Hertfordshire, UKChima Dick Onwukwe, Abia State University, NigeriaChukwuemeka Uzoma Okugo, Abia State University, NigeriaIkhidero Solomon Ijeweimen, ResearcherItohan Mercy Idumwonyi, Rice University, USAJohn Lwanda, Physician and Social HistorianModestus Fosu, Ghana Institute of Journalism, GhanaOloruntola Sunday, University of Lagos, NigeriaPhilip Onguny, Saint Paul University, CanadaThabisile Buthelezi, University of KwaZulu-Natal, South AfricaUfuoma Akpojivi, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa
