Review Quotes: 'An absorbing and illuminating, kaleidoscopic picture of radio in action all across the African continent. Creating new civic spaces, reflecting the everyday, and reworking perceptions - all these and more are explored in this excellent discussion of what remains the most important public communicative medium in Africa.' - Graham Furniss, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London--Graham Furniss, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
