Full Description
This book explores the efforts of marginalized communities to address the health inequalities that characterize life in many deprived areas of post-industrialized cities in the UK. Spread over six chapters, the book maps the role of small-scale and community-based media in contextualizing a link between people's experiences and expression to validate marginalized points of view. It takes an ethnographic approach and demonstrates that a multi-agency and faith-based community broadcasting initiative can be an empowering platform for communicative interaction.
