De-Westernizing Media Studies

<P>How is globalization changing both society and the media? <i>De-Westernizing Media Studies</i> brings together leading media critics from around the world to address central questions in the study of the media, breaking away from the narrow Anglo-American perspective that has dominated media studies. In a series of case studies from Asia, Africa, North and South America, Europe, the Middle East and Australia, the contributors explore relationships between media, power and society in a variety of regional and national contexts, and the effects of globalization. They also confront the limitations of conventional theories on media and globalization in understanding these relationships. <br><br>Contributors : Hussein Amin, Lance Bennett, Stuart Cunningham, James Curran, Peter Dahlgren, Terry Flew, Daniel Hallin, Chang-Nam Kim, Raymond Kuhn, Tawana Kupe, Chin-Chuan Lee, Colin Leys, Tamar Liebes, Eric Kit-wai Ma, Brian McNair, Paolo Mancini, Zahoran Nain, James Napoli, Myung-Jin Park, Arvind Rajagopal, Helge Minimize
