Abstract
This book argues that indigenous modes of communication – for example the oral tradition, drama, indigenous entertainment forms, cultural modes and local language radio – are essential to the societies within which they exist and which create them; and that coupled with newer, or modern forms of communication technology such as the internet and digitised information, endogenous modes of communication are paramount to the processes of human development in Africa.
