Communication Development And Democracy

On the premise that to be able to define and confer meaning is a critical step toward democratic empowerment, Sosale accounts for the struggle to establish selected meanings and ideologies surrounding communication and development during this particular time period in recent history. Concluding with a look at the postdevelopment era and new media, she reviews some new paths to development and their implications for the future of communication and social change in developing societies."--BOOK JACKET.
