Communication, Culture, and Human Rights in Africa provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary analysis of the interface between human rights and civil society, the media, gender, education, religion, health communication, and political processes in sub-Saharan Africa. It weaves theory, history, policy, and case analyses into a holistic intellectual and cultural critique, while offering insightful practical solutions.
Communication, Culture, and Human Rights in Africa is a tour de force of insight, brilliance, and clarity. Musa and Domatob, like magicians, have pulled off an incredible demonstration of the most current thinking on the human rights situation on the African continent. This will be a major book. I am truly impressed. -- Molefi K. Asante, Ph.D., African American studies, Temple University, author, The History of Africa * Journal of Black Studies *
The western world can learn much from this investigation into the relationship between human rights and communication taken from studies in Africa. -- Katy W. Hansen,, Member, Board of Directors, United Nations Association-USA; past president, National Peace Corps Association
Those seeking to enhance their understanding of the sub-continent's human rights agenda and the media's role in this process will find this volume a great resource. -- Bitrus Paul Gwamna, Ph.D., Associate professor of communication and coordinator of the Global Issues Program, Iowa Wesleyan College
Human rights suggest that we can and should dialogue about our Otherness with respect, openness, and reflexivity. The present book makes an invaluable contribution to this common exploration. -- Cees J. Hamelink, Ph.D., President, The Dutch Federation for Human Rights; director, Center for Communication and Human Rights
