About the Book

Communication in an Era of Global Conflicts assesses trends and issues in communication and their implications for conflicts in the African context. In doing so, the various chapters draw from culture, tradition, folklore, communication and conflict theories, principles and strategies, and from systems approach to conflict resolution. The underlying assumption of all the chapters is the pivotal role of communication—new media, traditional mass communication, interpersonal communication, intercultural communication, and communication technologies—in conflict and conflict resolution. This book is unique for its multidimensional perspectives, a long overdue addition to the growing literature on conflicts in Africa.

Review :
A book of this caliber that adds African voices to the examination of trends in communication and conflict is long overdue. Certainly, it arrives at an opportune time to join ongoing conversations on communication and conflict in the global arena. The contributions in this text come from scholars who have influenced communication and social policies by their scholarship, and have impacted the careers of hundreds of students across the African continent and beyond. Their collective effort has resulted in a text that narrows the knowledge gap about the role of communication in the resolution of conflicts on the African continent. With reference to communication and conflict theories, contributors to Communication in an Era of Global Conflicts present a balanced perspective on approaches to conflict resolution on this troubled continent. African scholars would cherish this publication as it updates them on current research and thought in African conflict resolution. This is an excellent reference for understanding communication's role in the pursuit of peace in Africa. M'Bayo, Onwumechili, and Musa have put together a compelling collection of articles articulating the multiple and sometimes contradictory nature of relationships between communication and conflict. This volume, with its diverse contributions and perspectives, promises to advance the task of theory building on media/communication and discord. The specific focus on the Africa, historically a continental stage for global struggles, is long overdue. Communication in an Era of Global Conflicts is a very welcome addition to the literatures on Global Communication and Communications in Africa.
