Media Across the African Diaspora: Content, Audiences, and Global
Media Across the African Diaspora This volume gathers scholarship from varying disciplinary perspectives to explore media owned or created by members of the African diaspora, examine its relationship with diasporic audiences, and consider its im- pact on mainstream culture in general. Contributors highlight creations and contributions of people of the African diaspora, the interconnections of Black American and African-centered media, and the experiences of audiences and users across the African diaspora, positioning members of the Black and African Diaspora as subjects of their own narratives, ac- tive participants and creators. In so doing, this volume addresses issues of identity, culture, audiences, and global influence. Omotayo O.
