In July 2022, Professor Dip Kapoor's excellent book proposal on indigenous contestations of capitalism landed in my inbox. I am extremely sorry to say that this was likely Dip's last book, as he sadly passed away last week. An extraordinary scholar, and a kind and generous man.
What a great video to launch @DrLimukaniMathe's new book "African Radio and Minority Languages: Participation and Representation"!
Showing how radio provides a platform for diverse linguistic groups across Africa.

I'm often asked about the cost of access to research, especially for scholars from the Global South. This is one way that Taylor & Francis is making a meaningful difference. Over 15 years of STAR providing access to research for researchers in resource-constrained countries. 🌟
Taylor & Francis is celebrating 15 years of STAR (Special Terms for Authors and Researchers).
This important initiative helps individual unaffiliated researchers in over 100 resource-constrained countries by providing free access to the latest research.

Completing this publication process with the professionalism of Routledge has been incredibly reassuring. I would like to thank Helena Hurd (@DevelopmentEdtr), senior editor of the Routledge Humanitarian Studies series, and all staff at Routledge for their invaluable support.
