Description
Democratic Communications is the first book to subject long-standing assumptions about alternative media and democratic communications to a detailed cultural and historical examination and critique. Ranging from prophecy in sixteenth-century England to the self-managed projects of critical literacy and social change of today, this book assesses the historical heritage present conditions, and future possibilities of today's remade media landscape for democratic communications.
