Lucid, provocative, and illuminating. A conceptually and empirically strong volume which spotlights media capture as an important frame through which to understand contemporary matrices of power and control in the media sector. With a focus on Africa and Latin America, few books confront epistemic silences and distortions that typically characterise the study of the media in the global South with such commendable analytical rigour. George Ogola, University of Nottingham, UK. Media capture is one of the most challenging issues in the Global South. It not only hinders the ability of citizens to access information and engage but also creates eco chambers in which those in power perpetrate abuse. Media Capture in Africa and Latin America: Power & Resistance' is truly a seminal contribution to this field. I was captivated by the strength of the arguments and how solid and grounded it is. Jairo Lugo-Ocando, University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates This fascinating book comes to fill not one but two important gaps: a systematic analysis of media capture and its complex dynamics combining power and resistance, and a dual focus on two often overlooked regions in the Global South: Africa and Latin America. It covers a number of topics and country case studied and it is written in an engaging and accessible manner. Highly recommended. Ana Langer, University of Glasgow, UK How can current debates on 'media capture' be understood within the contexts of Africa and Latin America? This edited collection provides a nuanced exploration of media capture-a critical yet contested concept that examines and illuminates how media can become skewed in favour of power-while also highlighting spaces and strategies of resistance. By adopting a South-South perspective, it brings together scholars focused on these issues in both regions, featuring a dialogue between two leading scholars, Herman Wasserman and Silvio Waisbord in the Foreword. The book not only demonstrates how media practices in Africa and Latin America are influenced by the political economy of their media systems, but also contributes significantly to advancing empirical, theoretical, and comparative research on media in non-Western settings.
