About this book
Reviews
The Sustainable Development Goals have given the nations and peoples of the world non-authoritarian guidelines and signposts that each can apply in their own context, to increase our capacity to care for the planet, its human inhabitants and the wider web of life. This can only be done by widely sharing knowledge and communication. This book is an exemplary knowledge commons. Through this approach, we canall learn, in the whole world, but locally contextualized, how we can communicate the experiences of positive change for human health. Any improvement anywhere becomes a shared experience everywhere. I would recommend this approach for every single domain of development.
—Michel Bauwens, Founder and Director of the P2P Foundation.
This book offers a much-appreciated counterweight to the relegation of communication to a secondary role. Instead, it demonstrates communication’s centrality to development and humanity. The chapters, each in their own ways, mobilize justified support for the democratization of communication and an intensified respect for communication rights, which promise to offer increased opportunities for a global understanding through dialogue, grounded in a radical acknowledgement of diversity.—Nico Carpentier, President, International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR).
Jan Servaes and Muhammad Jameel Yusha’u have elevated the discussion about the Sustainable Development Goals by drawing attention to the missing link in SDGs. Researchers and policy makers would find this book invaluable in the effort to ensure that no one is left behind in the realization of the 2030 Agenda for Development.
—Abdalla Uba Adamu, Professor, Department of Information and Media Studies, Bayero University, Kano, Nigeria
