Kenya: The Nairobi Star (Saturday May 10) reported on ‘radical proposals’ emerging from the recent bonding retreat of the new government : ‘vernacular radio stations should be closed down, cabinet ministers agreed …’ . The decision according to the report ‘… followed discussions on what role the media played in the post election period…’
Exclusion for political activities by predominance of French, English and Portuguese.
Roll African scholars have played in this process of disempowerment by refusing to take a concerted and determined stance against the dominant role of French, English and Portuguese on the continent.
African scholarship seeking to create a space for itself within a closed discursive and practical space rather than a radical force seeking to eliminate closure of discursive and practical spaces generally.
