The overall objective of this chapter is to investigate grass-roots participation, alternative media and citizen journalism in four Portuguese-speaking African countries.1 Angola, Cape Verde, Mozambique, and Sao Tome and Principe illustrate different processes of democratization, different media systems, but mainly these countries provide examples of very different levels of citizen democratic awareness and of diverse modes of political engagement
