Reviews for New Technologies in Developing Societies: From Theory to Practice (Palgrave Studies in Communication for Social Change)
“The book clearly communicates multiple theoretical positions in the field, and summarises well several pertinent empirical studies. In particular, the predominant focus on contemporary African media dynamics provides a useful and welcome contribution to a field too often dominated by exclusively Western priorities.” (Thomas Owen, Communication Research and Practice, Vol. 2 (1), 2016)
