Global Indigenous Media

“Global indigenous Media is a remarkably eclectic and timely group of essays that are presented and arranged into a fascinating collection with a thorough and insightful introduction by the editors Wilson and Stewart. This book will be of significance to ethnographers and anthropologists with interests in the scholarship and practice of indigenous media, visual anthropology, communications and media studies, as well as indigenous artistic practice and production, to name only some of the fields on which this collection touches. - Paul Wolfram, Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology

“Global Indigenous Media is certainly an important contribution to knowledge regarding Indigenous media, and I do not hesitate to recommend it strongly to scholars in relevant areas of study.” - Ross Watson, M/C Reviews

“[Global Indigenous Media] offers well-researched case studies and is thus of great value for all interested in media studies, the study of political movements as well as development studies.” - Tilo Gratz, Social Anthropology

“[T]he collection successfully contributes to our understandings of Indigenous mass mediations, both as a diverse range of products and processes. . . . [T]he strongest essays in Global Indigenous Media should remind all communication and media scholars that they should be reading about Indigenous media experiences.” - Vicki Mayer, Global Media and Communication

“[T]his volume is a brilliant exploration of the complexities of indigenous media around the world that will undoubtedly become a seminal work in visual anthropology. I highly recommend it for anthropologists interested in questions of the politics and poetics of indigeneity, indigenous engagements with the national and global politics of settler states, questions of indigenous citizenship and sovereignty, as well as indigenous aesthetics and cultural traditions taking shape in new digital technologies.” - Kristin Dowell, American Ethnologist

“The editors have done a marvelous job. . . . For this reason, scholars of Aboriginal/Indigenous/Native American studies, communication and media studies, anthropology, cultural studies, linguistics, political science, journalism, and sociology to name just a few, will find this book deepens their knowledge of Indigenous media and their role in supporting, expressing and even remaking Indigenous culture, identity and life today.” - Jean-Paul Restoule, Canadian Journal of Native Studies

“Global Indigenous Media is a necessary, urgent, and conceptually brilliant volume. Each essay is a gem. Taken together, they change how one thinks about Indigenous media and they reveal its importance in the transnational media landscapes of the twenty-first century.” - Patricia R. Zimmermann, author of States of Emergency: Documentaries, Wars, Democracies

“All scholars and practitioners interested in the global Indigenous mediascape will want to have access to this excellent volume packed with original contributions from all over the world.” - Harald E. L. Prins, former visual anthropology editor, American Anthropologist, and past president, Society for Visual Anthropology
