Mediatized Political Campaigns

This book examines five elections in Trinidad and Tobago over a ten-year period from 2000 to 2010 and, on the basis of this, works through some critical issues related to media and politics in the Caribbean. This is a pioneering study, with solid research and insightful analysis which reads well. Indrani Bachan-Persad has made an important contribution to our understanding and appreciation of media and politics in the Caribbean, locating her discussion within a sound theoretical framework and expressing optimism for the evolution of Caribbean media. This book is likely to provide inspiration for other researchers in the field.
