Reviews

Communication, Culture, and Human Rights in Africa is a tour de force of insight, brilliance, and clarity. Musa and Domatob, like magicians, have pulled off an incredible demonstration of the most current thinking on the human rights situation on the African continent. This will be a major book. I am truly impressed.

The western world can learn much from this investigation into the relationship between human rights and communication taken from studies in Africa.

Those seeking to enhance their understanding of the sub-continent's human rights agenda and the media's role in this process will find this volume a great resource.

Human rights suggest that we can and should dialogue about our Otherness with respect, openness, and reflexivity. The present book makes an invaluable contribution to this common exploration.
