      abstract = {This book advances alternative approaches to understanding  media, culture and technology in two vibrant regions of the  Global South. Bringing together scholars from Africa and  the Caribbean, it traverses the domains of communication  theory, digital technology strategy, media practice  reforms, and corporate and cultural renewal. The first  section tackles research and technology with new conceptual  thinking from the South. The book then looks at emerging  approaches to community digital networks, online diaspora  entertainment, and video gaming strategies. The volume then  explores reforms in policy and professional practice,  including in broadcast television, online newspapers, media  philanthropy, and business news reporting. Its final  section examines the role of village-based folk media, the  power of popular music in political opposition, and new  approaches to overcoming neo-colonial propaganda and  external corporate hegemony. This book therefore engages  critically with the central issues of how we communicate,  produce, entertain, and build communities in 21st-century  Africa and the Caribbean. Hopeton S.
