This text examines a number of African radio broadcast cultures.

Radio has played a pivotal role in situations of conflict, crisis, change and development on the African continent. Local radio stations are as important as international broadcasters being both the barometers and agents of change.

North America: Praeger
"This collection on radio in Africa is extremely timely ... Whereas only a few years ago radio was almost always a centralized state monopoly, now a variety of stations - public, private, and community based - have proliferated. Thus, this is a very exciting moment, for media studies generally and for radio in particular, and a book on the current state of radio in Africa is most welcome. - , University of Texas at El Paso" Charles Ambler, University of Texas at El Paso
"...excellent collection ... Fardon and Furniss and their various collaborators have provided us with a most useful collection, and one which in some ways continues the editors' earlier work on language policy. ... It opens up an important subject." Stephen Ellis, SOAS BULLETIN
