Conclusion: Future Politics of Media ScarcityReviewsThe Politics of Media Scarcity provides an engaging account of the complex double nature of media scarcity as both a form of marginalization and political practice for emancipation. In a world often connected with media abundance, this is a much-needed analysis of the absences, refusals, and push backs against oppressive forms of mediation towards a more hopeful future. Anne Kaun, Södertörn University, Sweden As media scholars we tend to focus on the nature and consequences of a media-saturated world and too often ignore the social and political ramifications of media paucity. This book subverts that tendency and challenges us to recognise and critique media scarcity and its impact on our social identities, our political participation and our economic security. Through a series of richly diverse case studies on South African militants, incarcerated Indigenous women, residents of ‘secret’/nuclear cities, and the cold war bunker, it offers unique insights on the marginalising effects of media and how the politics of media scarcity can be reclaimed to disrupt abundant media power for social justice ends. Original and fascinating in equal measure.
