| Description: |
Claiming that media are rarely neutral vehicles of expression, this book considers the challenges of balancing freedom of expression with freedom of religion. It helps you explore the transformation of the religious messages, experiences, values, and practices brought about by the expanded use of media on the African continent. |
| Synopsis: |
New Media and Religious Transformations in Africa casts a critical look at Africa's rapidly evolving religious media scene. Following political liberalization, media deregulation, and the proliferation of new media technologies, many African religious leaders and activists have appropriated such media to strengthen and expand their communities and gain public recognition. Media have also been used to marginalize and restrict the activities of other groups, which has sometimes led to tension, conflict, and even violence. Showing how media are rarely neutral vehicles of expression, the contributors to this multidisciplinary volume analyze the mutual imbrications of media and religion during times of rapid technological and social change in various places throughout Africa. |
