Radio Cultures examines the manifold ways in which radio has influenced the nation's social and
cultural environment since its inception nearly a century ago. Written by leading scholars in
the field chapters address a wide range of topics including how this powerful medium has
impacted and affected non-mainstream segments of the population throughout its history and how
these repressed and neglected groups have employed radio to counter and overcome discrimination
and bias. The use of the audio medium for political economic and religious purposes is
comprehensively probed and analyzed in this insightful and innovative volume.
