The program often takes authorities to task and questions much of the human rights rhetoric that comes from international organizations. Highlighting obligation and mutual dependence, the program expresses, in popular idioms and local narrative forms, grievances and injustices that are closest to Malawi¹s impoverished public. Harri Englund reveals broadcasters¹ everyday struggles with state-sponsored biases and a listening public with strong views and a critical ear. This fresh look at African-language media shows how Africans effectively confront inequality, exploitation, and poverty. 308 pp., 9 b&w illus. cloth 978-0-253-35677-2 $70.00 paper 978-0-253-22347-0 $24.95 For more information, visit: http://www.iupress.indiana.edu/catalog/755661 For Instructors: If you are interested in adopting these books for course use, please see our exam copy policy: http://www.iupress.indiana.edu/link/examcopy Laura Baich Electronic Marketing Manager Indiana University Press 812-855-8287 | 812-856-0415 (fax) online: http://iupress.indiana.edu blog: http://iupress.typepad.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/iupress Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/iupress ---- For past messages, visit the Screen-L Archives: http://bama.ua.edu/archives/screen-l.html
