As one of the author/editors, I wanted to provide more info since Duke doesn't have the "Look Inside" feature. Sorry to appear self-serving, but Amazon wouldn't let me post without rating it--so my rating goes to the excellence of the contributors. If you're interested in how cultures around the world are mobilizing the media to serve their local cultural and political interests, you'll really enjoy these very readable articles.
