Description
New Media, Development and Globalization: Making Connections in the Global South by Don Slater is a thought-provoking exploration of the key terms shaping our understanding of governance, development, and globalization. Through his ethnographic fieldwork in Latin America, West Africa, and South Asia, Slater challenges the dominant narratives surrounding new media, development, and globalization, instead seeking to understand these concepts from the perspectives of southern communities. By examining the cultural and ideological contexts in which these terms have arisen, Slater aims to promote a more nuanced understanding of the complex global patterns and social realities at play. This book is a valuable contribution to sociological debates, media studies, development studies, geography, and anthropology, offering a provocative analysis of how we can democratize our thinking and practice around new media, development, and globalization. With its roots in sociological inquiry, New Media, Development and Globalization invites readers to engage with the ideas and concepts that shape our world today.
