Although the book can obviously not offer in such a format (17 chapters) a fully comprehensive view of the trends of the whole continent – and northern African countries here are a notable exception – it provides radio scholars with very valuable material to position African radio in the global context and advance the research agenda. Radio has had, and continues to have, a crucial position in the everyday life of Africans, as is well documented by one part of the book, with the other two being dedicated to chapters exploring the role of the medium in the context of popular democracies, and as a mirror of processes of change.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAfricaPublicsCulturesCommunitiesArticle171316834WOS:000327006400015Q4
