This book offers a critical appraisal of the centrality of indigenous language media in the formulation of the theory and practice of development communication. This collection of chapters reminds both development scholars, students and policymakers not to ignore indigenous languages and their media, for they offer genuine understanding of marginalized people's development aspirations. This book makes a powerful observation: Indigenous languages were at the centre of anticolonial struggles, and they will remain at the centre of the global South's determination for a world that is equal, just, and democratic. -- Linje Manyozo, RMIT University
