en developing training programmes for textbook authors to create local capacity in the writing of textbooks for local language teaching. It reports about the main lessons learnt during the execution of the programme. Ingrid Jung argues that the development of societies depends crucially on the access to and the written processing of information, and discusses what this means for local language publishing. She concludes that the present situation in Africa is characterized by a broad gap between what is necessary to contribute to social change and education, and what local book industries offer in the field of local language publications for educational and other purposes. “To satisfy the demand for books and learning materials in African languages in the long run, it is necessary to contribute to the development of national and regional publishing houses and to the capacity building of all links of the book chain."

ionnent, leur observation (surtout la radio, mieux africanisée) fournit un excellent indicateur du changement de ces sociétés, de leurs espoirs et de leurs illusions. L'auteur, spécialiste de la presse écrite et audiovisuelle, dresse un constat des transferts et des ruptures apportés par les médias en Afrique. Si ces modifications sont porteuses d'espérance et liées aux aspirations à mieux vivre, elles provoquent aussi des effets pervers : dépendance au niveau international et inégalités inter-étatiques. Les médias véhiculent donc autant d'espoirs que d'illusions et posent pour eux-mêmes comme pour les sociétés africaines le problème de la démocratie." (Description de la maison d'édition)
