<p>“As a whole, this collection provides an international perspective on development communication and social change, making it a strong addition to courses on activist rhetoric, development communication, and international communication.”  (<i>Technical Communication</i>, 1 February 2015)</p> <p> </p>

<p><b>Karin Gwinn Wilkins</b> is Professor in the Department of Radio, TV, and Film at the University of Texas at Austin, USA, where she is also Associate Director of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies, and chair of the Global Studies Bridging Disciplines Program. Prof Wilkins has won numerous awards for her teaching and research, which focuses on development communication, global communication, and political engagement. She is the author of <i>Home/Land/Security: What We Learn about Arab Communities from Action-Adventure Film</i> (2008), <i>Re-Developing Communication for Social Change</i> (2000), and is a prolific contributor to journals including the <i>Journal of Communication and Media, Culture & Society</i>.</p> <p><b>Thomas Tufte</b> is Professor of Communication at Roskilde University, Denmark. An experienced director of international research projects, he is the author or editor of a dozen books including <i>Living with the Rubbish Queen: Telenovelas, Culture and Modernity in Brazil</i> (2000), as well as more than fifty research papers published in books and journals. Prof Tufte is a former UNESCO Chair of Communication at Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona and was a long-standing council member of the International Association for Media and Communication Research. He is widely consulted by high-profile international development agencies including UNESCO and the World Bank.</p> <p><b>Rafael Obregon</b> is Chief of Communication for Development at the United Nations Children’s Fund, New York, and a former Associate Professor in the School of Media Arts & Studies at Ohio University, USA. With more than two decades of academic experience in development and health communication, he has published numerous peer-reviewed journal articles on related topics, and co-edited <i>The Handbook of Global Health Communication</i> (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012) alongside Silvio Waisbord.</p>

<p>This valuable resource offers a wealth of practical and conceptual guidance to advocates, scholars, and communities engaged in on-going struggles for social justice around the world. It explains in accessible language and painstaking detail how to deploy and to understand the tools of media and communication in advancing the goals of social, cultural, and political change. In a world of growing grassroots activism powered by today’s accessible communications technology, this handbook synthesizes the diversity of strategies and academic perspectives that are often regarded as niche interests, covering everything from public health issues to social entrepreneurship.</p> <p>The comprehensive approach adopted in this volume brings together a range of themes in order to transcend misleading binaries separated by artificial political boundaries between developed and developing, modern and traditional social categorizations, and mediated and interpersonal communication. Integrating material from across the field, the handbook covers participatory, health and community communication strategies, as well as broader topics such as communication policy and technology, gender and communication, political communication, and political economy.</p>

“This handbook is a unique tool to profoundly understand the strategic use of communication for social justice. It closes critical gaps and articulates previous traditions. The editors have brought together a truly impressive collection of original texts and have opened new directions for the field.” – <i>Helena Sousa, University of Minho</i><br /> <br /> “A weakness of literature on development communication is its division into streams with separate, partly artificial niches. This book brings the approaches together. It not only gives an overview of the field but it creates an integrated conceptual framework toward understanding communication, media, development, participation and social change.” – <i>Ullamaija Kivikuru, Helsinki University</i><br /> <br /> “Professor Wilkins, Tufte and Obregon’s edited handbook provides a comprehensive and critical assessment of the many roles that communication – both theory and practice- has played in development and social change over the past 60 years. It will be an invaluable resource for development communication specialists and scholars, and for anyone committed to advancing the rights and opportunities of historically neglected or oppressed communities.” – <i>John Mayo, Florida State University</i>
