This collection on radio in Africa is extremely timely ... Whereas only a few years ago radio was almost always a centralized state monopoly, now a variety of stations - public, private, and community based - have proliferated. Thus, this is a very exciting moment, for media studies generally and for radio in particular, and a book on the current state of radio in Africa is most welcome. - , University of Texas at El Paso
