The book challenges self-appointed centers of global communication and opens space for centering African particularity as a solution to limitations and contradictions within the communication pluriverse. We do not just learn about how and why in some African societies persons seek out group cohesiveness above individual accomplishment or focus but epistemes and concepts that so far been marginalized in the Western centric contexts. It is as about reconstruction, reclaiming and resilience as much as it is about re-existence based on fascinating historical and contemporary evidence that show Africa’s continued pivotal role in world communication. ” —Winston Mano, Westminster University, UK This second volume of Black Communication Theory extends the Black communication sphere to include digital as well as non-digital modes of communication for the Black community on the continent of Africa and the Diaspora. The authors of this edition have been able to build on from the conceptualizations enshrined within the first volume and expanded it to include other Black communication contexts be they on gender, race, ethnicity, or class. Continuing the journey of populating the Black communication public and private sphere on the cyberspace as well as non-cyberspaces, this volume will provide an invaluable resource to students and researchers of Afrocentric communication theories. This is the moment for those examining Black communication related phenomena to harvest theories conceived and presented by Communication scholars actively engaged with pedagogy within the university system the world over.
