By a judicious selection of fascinating papers this volume is able to go beyond any single study to reveal the many different ways an anthropology sensitive to political and economic environments can investigate the production, consumption, and consequences of media by creators and users. As such it makes the ideal foundation for teaching a subject that has now clearly come into its own.\" \u003ci\u003eDaniel Miller, University College London\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments. \u003cp\u003eTimeline of Media Development.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Kelly Askew and Richard R.
