Through Dagbaŋ epistemologies and kno wledge systems\, this book examines media by highlighting how African lang uages\, cultures\, and traditions can shift how we think of knowledge. It is an offering to anyone curious about the relationship between culture\, language\, and media. By focusing on African language media in Ghana such as film\, television\, and radio\, the book emphasizes the importance of e spousing a decolonial politic and praxis in the process of co-creating kno wledge with Indigenous communities. It connects the struggles of global ma jority countries and demonstrates the ways in which (neo)colonialism and i mperialism impede the work toward liberatory futures. This book demonstrat es the potential that African language media hold as tools of cultural and epistemological decolonization (publisher's website).\n\n \n\nBio\n\nWunp ini Fatimata Mohammed is Assistant Professor in the Department of Communi cation at Cornell University.
