What People are Saying About This
“This handbook is a unique tool to profoundly understand the strategic use of communication for social justice. It closes critical gaps and articulates previous traditions. The editors have brought together a truly impressive collection of original texts and have opened new directions for the field.” – Helena Sousa, University of Minho “A weakness of literature on development communication is its division into streams with separate, partly artificial niches. This book brings the approaches together. It not only gives an overview of the field but it creates an integrated conceptual framework toward understanding communication, media, development, participation and social change.” – Ullamaija Kivikuru, Helsinki University “Professor Wilkins, Tufte and Obregon’s edited handbook provides a comprehensive and critical assessment of the many roles that communication – both theory and practice- has played in development and social change over the past 60 years. It will be an invaluable resource for development communication specialists and scholars, and for anyone committed to advancing the rights and opportunities of historically neglected or oppressed communities.” – John Mayo, Florida State University
