Thanks for sharing, Kealeboga. May I suggest you also share this news in the Visual Communication Studies Division and Political Communication Division communities on the link, if you haven't already, as this seems relevant to both groups?

Subject: Call for Papers: Visual Political Communication from an Afrocentric Perspective
Hi, colleagues. I would like to invite you to submit your abstracts for our upcoming book, Visual Political Communication from an Afrocentric Perspective. This edited volume intends to examine the under-researched area of visual political communication from Afrocentric or Decolonial perspectives. It aims to offer an Afrocentric and/or Decolonial theoretically driven approach, the empirically grounded survey of the central role of visual communication in the African political culture. Such a project is crucial at this time when the advent of digital media technology and the growth of social media have created new ways of producing, disseminating, and consuming political images that demand further investigation as well as considering the theoretical and methodological approaches required to understand visual political communication within the African perspective.
