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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIsaac Mhute\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor in the Department of Language, Literature and Culture Studies, Midlands State University, Zimbabwe and Senior Research Associate in the Faculty of Humanities, University of Johannesburg, South Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEsther Mavengano\u003c\/b\u003e is Lecturer in the Department of English and Media Studies, Great Zimbabwe University, Zimbabwe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45278693654679,"sku":"9783031484308","price":9447.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783031484308.webp?v=1769291632","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/political-communication-in-sub-saharan-africa-volume-i-media-and-democracy-9783031484308","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
