This book offers a fresh set of innovative and creative contributions
related to the role of communication in processes of change. Given the
current fast pace of social-economic, political and technological change
across the globe, and the central role of communication in this, there
is a growing need to reconceptualize how we approach communication and
change that provides entry points to help us expand and enrich our
scholarly and practical work. This collection presents 14 concepts from
a multi-disciplinary collection of internationally leading and emerging
scholars, from 13 countries on 5 continents. They come together around
three meta-topics: citizenship and justice, critiques of development,
and renewing thought (from and for the margins). The short chapter
format ensures that authors get straight to the nub of their ideas,
providing readers -- students, scholars and practitioners alike -- with
accessible, engaging and innovative ways to think critically about
communication and social change, in new ways.
