Product Description
by Abdou Sarr (Author)
This book is the restitution of a sum of experiences that we have lived, during almost two decades, during which we had a fruitful companionship with several community radios, in different countries of sub-Saharan Africa. The book proposes, quite simply, to share with the readers, the ups and downs of the journey of the community radio activist that we are. Thus, the book refuses to be a guide or a manual that gives precise directions or shows the marked out directions to take. It is difficult to indicate the path to follow in a field as complex as community radio, which addresses a diversity of targets living in environments with such different socio-cultural realities. Instead, we have chosen to relate events that we have experienced with community radios and to explain the happy or unhappy consequences that have resulted from them. Then we revealed the lessons we learned, expressed the ideas that these moments inspired and formulated the questions that they raised, before indicating some attempts at answers.
