Racism, Ethnicity and the Media in Africa sets about rethinking the role of media and communication in perpetuating, reinforcing and reining in racism, absolute ethnicity and other discriminations across Africa.

Book Synopsis Race Talk in the South African Media by : Gawie Botma
Download or read book Race Talk in the South African Media written by Gawie Botma and published by AFRICAN SUN MeDIA. This book was released on 2020-01-06 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book makes a very significant, timely and relevant contribution to a very topical subject of immense local as well as global interest. Through tracing the evolution of media discourse about race and racism, which the author prefers to call ‘race talk’, the writer prised open a window to a panoramic, variegated and yet nuanced perspective of the perennial South African race question etched across the vistas of time and memory since Jan Van Riebeeck set up the first European settlement as a refreshment station for the Dutch East India Company, at the Cape of Good Hope in 1652 up to the time of writing this book. It lends a fresh lens through which to re-read South African society, not only to a studious scholar of media history but also to anybody interested in the general history of South Africa. - Dr Zvenyika Mugari, WITS This book is based on meticulous archival searching, presented in a new, fresh and highly engaging way. This is a book based on evidentiary-led scholarly principles that has lucidity as a goal. Unlike so many scholarly works which are turgid and very difficult to read because they are written in restricted codes meant only for other academics, this manuscript is wonderfully lucid, accessible and a pleasure to read. The prime readership will be academics but its lucidity makes it appealing beyond a purely academic readership, hopefully reaching media professionals and students also and influencing debates on race policy. This is how academic books, in fact, should be written. - Prof Keyan Tomaselli, University of Johannesburg The author has embarked on a very difficult and complex task of understanding the race construct in the South African media context. This is a highly contested and contentious space in South Africa and it is particularly arduous for a “white, middle-class, middle-aged, Afrikaans male” to navigate this space. The author has however eloquently managed to pilot this fine line of controversy. He offers a balanced view of the belligerent debate without treading insensitively on the toes of protagonists and at the same time challenges prevailing views. - André Rose, National Cancer Institute
Book Synopsis Media Across the African Diaspora by : Omotayo O. Banjo
Download or read book Media Across the African Diaspora written by Omotayo O. Banjo and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2018-07-04 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume gathers scholarship from varying disciplinary perspectives to explore media owned or created by members of the African diaspora, examine its relationship with diasporic audiences, and consider its impact on mainstream culture in general. Contributors highlight creations and contributions of people of the African diaspora, the interconnections of Black American and African-centered media, and the experiences of audiences and users across the African diaspora, positioning members of the Black and African Diaspora as subjects of their own narratives, active participants and creators. In so doing, this volume addresses issues of identity, culture, audiences, and global influence.

Book Synopsis Media and Identity in Africa by : Kimani Njogu
Download or read book Media and Identity in Africa written by Kimani Njogu and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2009-04-09 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of the media in Africa, incorporating both African and international perspectives, are few. The thirty papers collected here were presented at a seminar organised and hosted by the Kenya-based Twaweza Communications and the International African Institute in Nairobi in 2004. They demonstrate how media outlets are used to perpetuate, question or modify the unequal power relations between the North and the South. Focusing on east Africa, the papers include discussions of the construction of old and new social entities, as defined by class, gender, ethnicity, political and economic differences, wealth, poverty, cultural behaviour, language and religion. The authors illustrate how there is increasing control by local people of traditional and modern forms of media. Globalization is being countered by local responses, within the context of social and cultural identities. Essentially, the book describes the tensions between the global and the local, tensions not often discussed in media studies, thus pioneering new debates.
Download or read book African Images written by Peter Rigby and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1996-10 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This controversial book is an impassioned African response to the racial stereotyping of African people and people of African descent by prominent white scholars. It highlights how the media contributes to the growth of racist ideas, particularly in reporting current events in Africa, and demonstrates how some of America's most revered intellectuals cloak racist ideologies in ostensibly egalitarian discourses. The author seeks to rewrite the image of 'race' in order to show the damage racism can cause serious scholarship.

Download or read book Race in Education written by Gerhard Mare and published by AFRICAN SUN MeDIA. This book was released on 2019-05-31 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is global evidence that "e;ghosts"e; of notions of essentialist differences between human "e;groups"e; continue to haunt in various forms. People draw upon ideas of religion, race, ethnicity, gender and sexuality, and nation to draw distinctions. Racism, xenophobia, sexism, and right-wing populism are ongoing and increasing phenomena. In addition, genetic science has introduced new forms of "e;proof"e; which lends itself to misuse, to confirm "e;common sense perceptions"e;. The valuable contributions of the authors in this publication not only warn against such notions, but offer ways of exploring, exposing and challenging the ghosts and the fears engendered through their contemporary forms.

Book Synopsis Human Rights, Race, and Resistance in Africa and the African Diaspora by : Toyin Falola
Download or read book Human Rights, Race, and Resistance in Africa and the African Diaspora written by Toyin Falola and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africans and their descendants have long been faced with abuse of their human rights, most frequently due to racism or racialized issues. Consequently, understanding shifting conceptualizations of race and identity is essential to understanding how people of color confronted these encounters. This book addresses these issues and their connections to social justice, discrimination, and equality movements. From colonial abuses or their legacies, black people around the world have historically encountered discrimination, and yet they do not experience injustice opaquely. The chapters in this book explore and clarify how Africans, and their descendants, struggled to achieve agency despite long histories of discrimination. Contributors draw upon a range of case studies related to resistance, and examine these in conjunction with human rights and the concept of race to provide a thorough exploration of the diasporic experience. Human Rights, Race, and Resistance in Africa and the African Diaspora will appeal to students and scholars of Ethnic and Racial Studies, African History, and Diaspora Studies.
Book Synopsis Reinventing Black by : Mignon R. DeWalt
Download or read book Reinventing Black written by Mignon R. DeWalt and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through an analysis of the literature on racial and social identity development, new media and cyberculture, the following study will show that a reinvention and re-articulation of social perceptions of race through new digital media would foster a realistic understanding of cultural relevance and encourage an accurate sense of reality. Racism and discrimination continue to be a problem within our society. Images seen on television and in movies perpetuate racism and discrimination through their negative depictions of minority racial groups like African Americans. Relatively little work has been done highlighting what individuals are doing to combat negative stereotypes that exist about African Americans in television media. The work that does exist tends to concentrate on how those stereotypes are perpetuated instead of how they are overcome. This following study utilizes Cultivation Theory, Media Dependency Theory, Uses and Gratification Theory and survey data to understand how consumers use media to meet their needs and the notion of new media as a catalyst for changes in social race perceptions.

Book Synopsis Everyday Media Culture in Africa by : Wendy Willems
Download or read book Everyday Media Culture in Africa written by Wendy Willems and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African audiences and users are rapidly gaining in importance and increasingly targeted by global media companies, social media platforms and mobile phone operators. This is the first edited volume that addresses the everyday lived experiences of Africans in their interaction with different kinds of media: old and new, state and private, elite and popular, global and national, material and virtual. So far, the bulk of academic research on media and communication in Africa has studied media through the lens of media-state relations, thereby adopting liberal democracy as the normative ideal and examining the potential contribution of African media to development and democratization. Focusing instead on everyday media culture in a range of African countries, this volume contributes to the broader project of provincializing and decolonizing audience and internet studies.
Book Synopsis Africana Race and Communication by : James L. Conyers
Download or read book Africana Race and Communication written by James L. Conyers and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-03-08 with total page 221 pages.

Book excerpt: Africana Race and Communication: A Social Study of Film, Communication, and Social Media focuses on the areas of History, Ethos, Motif, and Mythology-Philosophy. This study is an interdisciplinary study, which surveys the collection, interpretation, and analysis of Black communication and culture. Likewise, the intellectual dexterity of Africana Studies as an interdisciplinary body of knowledge postures alternative ways of probing Africana phenomena. This volume provides a categorical lens matrix of Africana Studies to locate race and communication in place, space, and time. Thus, it provides readers with a compilation of literary, historical, philosophical, and communicative essays that attempt to describe and evaluate the Africana experience from a centered perspective.
