Paul Greenwood said Briliant, insightful and an excellent resource. Dr. Schwartz-Dupre is an exceptional author who brings together two interdisciplinary fields of study - communications and postcolonial studies in a way that is stimulating and stems from a diverse source of essays. The collection draws upon the various perspectives of postcolonial communication studies and provides an interesting forum of thought and the evolution of this area of study over time.
In so doing, the collection highlights themes, trends, and conflicts that appear in the scholarship produced with postcolonial communication studies.. Uniting communication and postcolonial studies, this volume historically situates seminal essays in the field alongside new essays that aim to answer the question: «How, if at all, might communication scholars extend, or even renew, the postcolonial dialogue?» Beginning with the premise that in the field of communication studies, postcolonial theory has declined in the wake of globalization, the primary goal of this collection is to provide space for a variety of scholars – who often do not share the same impressions of the contemporary moment – to provoke discussion and debate geared toward understanding the strengths and limitations between these two interdisciplinary fields of study
Her scholarship is, by and large, committed to understanding the ways in which (re)presentations rhetorically constitute knowledge and meaning, and to what effect. Her scholarship has appeared in journals such as Critical Studies and Media Communication, Feminist Media Studies, and Computer Mediated Communication..
