Rezension
«This powerful interactional ethnography grapples with the pedagogy and politics of radio arts, in ways that both complicate and extend contemporary communication debates about education and democracy. By reframing how we understand the relationship of language, literacy, and citizenship in the lives of youth, an emancipatory pedagogy of the airwaves emerges, which genuinely ensures a place for their voice and participation in the politics of urban life. The book is a beautiful tribute to the relevance of a critical multilingual praxis, where the language of immigrant youth and the authority of their production commingle to embody deeply meaningful ways of knowing and being in the world.» (Antonia Darder, Leavey Endowed Chair of Ethics and Moral Leadership, Loyola Marymount University)
