Strange Enemies
In 1956, in the Brazilian state of Rondônia, a group of Wari' Indians had their first peaceful contact with whites: Protestant missionaries and officers from the national Indian Protection Service.

Published in Madrid in 1599 by a Spanish-born soldier of fortune with long experience in the Americas, the book is a training manual for conquistadors. The Aztec and Inca Empires had long since fallen by 1599, but Varg…
"Me Do Wu," My Val
Media privatization, commercial growth, and new concern in the popular culture about changing patterns of marriage, love, and sexuality led to a sudden embrace during the 1990s by upwardly mobile urban Ghanaians of a previously minor element of globally circulating mass culture, Valentine's Day.

Development Communication and Popular Resistance in Africa
From the onset of the post-World War II international campaign for the development of the Third World, much attention has been paid to the role of various media forms in the process of making Africa modern.
