Description
Book SynopsisCitizens’ media countering armed conflict and rebuilding community in Colombia
Trade Review"Clemencia Rodríguez has given us an astonishing ethnographic study of ‘citizens’ media’ in Colombia. Remarkably, and with great insight into what uses of such ‘small media’ can accomplish, she offers readers a glimmer of hope in a stark war-torn social landscape, as well as a welcome and original intervention into contemporary theorizations of media worlds in circumstances of violence." —Faye Ginsburg, New York University
