Indigenous Societies and Cultural Globalization in the 21st Century: is the Global Village Truly Real? Chinedu Okeke

Indigenous Societies and Cultural Globalization in the 21st Century is a book of readings which raises some fundamental questions in its attempt to rethink the basic debates in media/cultural studies. The book tackles the issues related to cultural globalization and the potential influence of ICT on the culture of indigenous societies and people from a multi-disciplinary and multi-faceted approach. One of the imports of this book will be to address the question of: whose culture; whose world is being globalized? Are indigenous societies at risk of extinction in the age of globalization? This book tackles these issues and other contemporary discourse in cultural studies. This book therefore targets students and scholars of media and cultural studies, sociologists, educators as well as policy promoters in the area of culture.
