Hello AAC-CCA friends,



Kindly allow me to announce our new open access book, Communication and Social Change in Africa; Selected Case Studies.



Communication and Social Change in Africa: Selected Case Studies

Edited by Manfred A.K. Asuman, Theodora Dame Adjin-Tettey and Modestus Fosu

This book invites you to join leading Africa-focused scholars in a conversation that vividly highlights the intricate relationship among communication, media, culture and social change. Communication and Social Change in Africa: Selected Case Studies provides
a timely and thought-provoking exploration of diverse and unique understandings in the way communication, in its vast and varied manifestations, is reshaping the continent’s future. Collectively touching base with almost every part of Africa, the book demonstrates a firsthand and grassroots understanding of the continent. The thirteen case studies in the book from across the continent illuminate the challenges, opportunities, and successes of communication-driven narratives, offering valuable lessons for scholars, policymakers and practitioners.

It goes without saying that this book is ideal for students, researchers and everyone interested in appreciating Africa and its cultural and developmental dynamics, which have been presented from different cultural and stylistic perspectives. While sufficient in its coverage to provide decent insights into the transformative power of communication in African societies, this book would undoubtedly provoke the reader’s curiosity and anticipation for a follow-up to this volume for more width and depth about the continent through communication and social change in Africa.



The book published by the Institute of Network Cultures at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences is available for free download at https://networkcultures.org/blog/publication/tod-55-communication-and-social-change-in-africa-selected-case-studies/
