“This book offers bold, hopeful, and very timely accounts of grassroots critical media literacy practices in the service of building a participatory democracy worthy of the name in a postmodern world.” – Colin Lankshear, author of New Literacies: Everyday Practices and Social Learning“A diversity of local projects from around the world, critically presented by authors who explore the convergence of formal, non-formal and informal education spheres with ubiquitous and lifelong education. Media education is represented here as inevitably linked to social justice, environmental education and other burning issues of our time.” – Alfonso Gutiérrez Martín, University of Valladolid (Segovia)
