Description

Discourses of the Developing World Researching Properties, Problems and Potentials by Shi-xu;Kwesi Kwaa Prah;María Laura Pardo offers a unique perspective on communication studies from non-Western cultures. Written by leading researchers from Asia, Africa, and Latin America, this book reconstructs Eastern paradigms of communication studies while exploring the discursive problems and complexities of developing societies. The authors adopt a cultural-political stance that supports diversity and harmony, drawing upon Asian, African, and Latino scholarship in critical dialogue with mainstream traditions. This approach provides a fresh understanding of the discourses of Asia, Africa, and Latin America from their local, historical, and intercultural perspectives. This book will appeal to scholars and students in discourse studies, communication, and cultural studies, particularly those interested in development studies and non-Western perspectives.
