Abiodun Salawu & Monica Chibita 
Indigenous Language Media, Language Politics and Democracy in Africa 

This book deals with the often-neglected link between indigenous languages, media and democracy in Africa. It recognizes that the media plays an amplifying role that is vital to modern-day expression, public participation and democracy but that without the agency to harness media potential, many Africans will be excluded from public discourse.
