“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 center of anticolonial struggles, and they will remain at the center of the global South's determination for a world that is equal, just, and democratic.”
Linje Manyozo, RMIT University

Indigenous Language for Development Communication in the Global South is a remarkable and timely world class anthology on the importance of harnessing indigenous languages for communicating social change. Grounded in empirical work by eminent scholars who are experts in their fields of study, the volume deftly blends compelling ground-breaking empirical and theoretical research contributing to the intellectual project of liberating development communication scholarship from hegemonic epistemologies. The research methodology in all sections, without exception is innovative, authoritative and without doubt well-suited for the issues examined.
Tendai Chari, University of Venda, South Africa
