This book examines the role of the media and literature in transforming politics and governance in southern Africa. Drawing inspiration from Critical Language Policy theory, it demonstrates how politicians utilise language and the media to legitimate their authority, influence citizens’ behaviour, and how they vote. Interdisciplinary in approach, it covers themes including marketing, political advertising, activism, violence, elections, and the media. It appeals to all those interested in public policy, governance and political communication, as well as linguistics, media studies and African politics.
