| description | Communication for Social Change in Sub-Saharan Africa: Amplifying the Marginalised Voices examines how communication serves as a catalyst for transformative change across the continent. It demonstrates how dialogue, storytelling, and media can motivate action and promote progress towards more equitable and inclusive societies. Drawing on vivid narratives and diverse case studies, the book examines how communities are using communication to address issues such as gender inequality, public health, human rights, and participatory governance. It highlights the rise of digital activism and grassroots movements that are redefining civic engagement and social transformation. By showcasing how new media technologies enable individuals to craft their own narratives, the book emphasises communication’s crucial role in fostering collective agency and sustainable change. This book is aimed at scholars, practitioners, and policymakers in political science, development studies, and media and communication. It will also appeal to activists, journalists, and students who seek to understand how communication can be used to amplify marginalised voices and generate lasting social impact across Sub-Saharan Africa. |
