Edited by Routledge/Taylor and Francis Group in the Book Series *Media and Communication Activism: The Empowerment Practices of Social Movements* (editors: Claudia Magallanes Blanco, Alice Mattoni and Charlotte Ryan) https://www.routledge.com/Media-and-Communication-Activism/book-series/MCA <https://www.routledge.com/Media-and-Communication-Activism/book-series/MCA>

Exploring Indigenous activism through the lens of media practices, this book examines the Indigenous media that has emerged in Argentina since the introduction of legislation in 2009 intended to promote media pluralism and diversity. Francesca Belotti finds Indigenous broadcasters active in three main battlefields: territory, culture and media management. For each front, she provides insights into the political and cultural matrix, attitudes of resistance and empowerment, and the outward and inward direction of Indigenous activism by unpacking the media practices that unfold in Indigenous radio and television stations in Argentina. The theoretical framework combines studies on indigeneity, social/decolonial movements and media practices, and draws on interviews conducted with Indigenous media practitioners from different Indigenous populations around Argentina, within a solidarity-based research design.The analysis reveals how media practices support and sustain Indigenous political and cultural activism and the process of identity self-ascription. It also addresses the complex negotiation between indigenizing media and assimilating the mainstream, as well as coping with other practical constraints.
