| Description: | Radio has played a pivotal and all-importnt role in situations of conflict, crisis, change and development' on the African continent. Local radio stations as much as international bradcasters have been both the barometers and the agents of change. No other medium of communication in Africa comes close to radio in terms of audience, political significance and cultural power.This book provides a timely and cross-continental perspective on a much neglected aspect of African public culture in its political structures and economic fortunes. Based upon a series of case studies by academics and radio journalists, analysing the role of radio in public life in situations of conflict and peace, the book argues for the success of multiplicity and localization in radio. Richard Fardon is Professor of West African Anthropology, and Graham Furniss is Reader in Hausa Cultural Studies, both at SOAS, University of London |
