Textul de pe ultima copertă
Lucid, provocative, and illuminating. A conceptually and empirically strong volume which spotlights media capture as an important frame through which to understand contemporary matrices of power and control in the media sector. With a focus on Africa and Latin America, few books confront epistemic silences and distortions that typically characterise the study of the media in the global South with such commendable analytical rigour. George Ogola, University of Nottingham, UK.
Media capture is one of the most challenging issues in the Global South. It not only hinders the ability of citizens to access information and engage but also creates eco chambers in which those in power perpetrate abuse. Media Capture in Africa and Latin America: Power & Resistance’ is truly a seminal contribution to this field. I was captivated by the strength of the arguments and how solid and grounded it is. Jairo Lugo-Ocando, University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates
This fascinating book comes to fill not one but two important gaps: a systematic analysis of media capture and its complex dynamics combining power and resistance, and a dual focus on two often overlooked regions in the Global South: Africa and Latin America. It covers a number of topics and country case studied and it is written in an engaging and accessible manner. Highly recommended. Ana Langer, University of Glasgow, UK
How are current debates about media capture to be understood in the context of Africa and Latin America? This edited collection of essays provides a focused assessment of not only forms of media capture – a contested and yet critical concept which interrogates the ways in which the media may be vulnerable to biases towards power – but also locates sites of and strategies for resistance to it. Its South-South approach brings together scholars working on these issues in Africa and Latin America, including two preeminent scholars from each region, Herman Wasserman and Silvio Waisbord, who appear “in conversation” in an innovative Foreword. As well as demonstrating how news media practices in the two regions are connected to the political economy of media systems, the book is a vital contribution towards the growing emphasis on empirical, theoretical and comparative research on the media in non-Western contexts.
