In today's Africa racism and ethnicity have been implicated in serious conflicts - from Egypt to Mali to South Africa - that have cost lives and undermined efforts to achieve national cohesion and meaningful development. Racism, Ethnicity and the Media in Africa sets about rethinking the role of media and communication in perpetuating, reinforcing and reining in racism, absolute ethnicity and other discriminations across Africa. It goes beyond the customary discussion of media racism and ethnic stereotyping to critically address broader issues of identity, belonging and exclusion. Topics covered include racism in South African newspapers, pluralist media debates in Kenya, media discourses on same-sex relations in Uganda and ethnicised news coverage in Nigerian newspapers.
Winston Mano is Director of the Africa Media Centre, University of Westminster. He is also Principal Editor of the 'Journal of African Media Studies'. He is the author of African National Radio and Everyday Life: The Impact of Radio in the Digital Age (forthcoming from I.B. Tauris) and is editor of The Media and Zimbabwe (2005).
