Indigenous Language for Development Communication in the Global South cover

This edited collection brings together voices from the margins in underrepresented regions of the Global South, within the context of scholarship focusing on indigenous languages and development communication. Contributors bring together research from often-overlooked parts of the world to engage in dialogue towards an understanding of the similarities and differences between issues of language and development in the Global South, presenting cases as a starting point for further research and discussions about indigenous language and development communication in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Scholars of communication, sociology, linguistics, and development studies will find this book of particular interest

“This book offers a critical appraisal of the centrality of indigenous language media in the formulation of the theory and practice of development communication. This collection of chapters reminds both development scholars, students and policymakers not to ignore indigenous languages and their media, for they offer genuine understanding of marginalized people's development aspirations. This book makes a powerful observation: Indigenous languages were at the centre of anticolonial struggles, and they will remain at the centre of the global South's determination for a world that is equal, just, and democratic.”
