"The drive towards homogeneity is not irresistible. These challenging essays by journalists, independent producers and researchers describe indigenous television in Brazil, in Africa, Europe and the Middle East, Aboriginal networks in Australia and the Deep Dish Satellite Network's alternative coverage in America of the Gulf War. Against the odds, local initiatives around the world are creating new opportunities for national, regional and ethnic identities to find expression through the medium of television."
