Exploring Indigenous activism through the lens of media practices, this book examines the Indigenous media that has emerged in Argentina since the introduction of legislation in 2009 intended to promote diversity and access in radio and television media production.

Recenzje

"Informed by a decolonial ethics, Indigenous Media Activism in Argentina is a pathbreaking study of the way Indigenous activists in Argentina use collaborative and community radio and television to resist intensifying forms of extractivism and dispossession. This is timely intervention and a novel and important contribution to Indigenous media studies which, until now, has rarely considered the Argentine context."

Freya Schiwy, Professor, Media & Cultural Studies, University of California, Riverside, USA

"The book Indigenous Media Activism in Argentina makes visible the political process by which media become tools for struggle and territories of political dispute for Indigenous peoples in Argentina. It provides an academic analysis from the valuable perspective of media activism."

Magdalena Doyle, Professor, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina
