The book provides valuable insights into decolonising the digital media 
landscape and the indigenisation of participatory epistemologies to 
continue the legacies of Indigenous languages in the global South. It is 
one of its kind as it climaxes that the construction phase of 
self-determining and redefining among the global South societies is an 
essential step towards decolonising the digital landscape and ensuring 
that Indigenous voices and worldviews are equally infused, represented, 
and privileged in the process of higher-level communication, exchanging 
epistemic philosophies, and knowledge expressions. The book employs an 
interdisciplinary approach to engage in the use of digital media as a 
sphere for resistance and knowledge transformation against the 
persistent colonialism of power through dominant non-indigenous 
languages and scientific epistemic systems. It further advocates that 
decolonising digital media spaces through appreciating participatory 
epistemologies and their languages can help promote the inclusion and 
empowerment of Indigenous communities. It indicates that the decolonial 
process can also help to redress the historical and ongoing injustices 
that have disadvantaged many Indigenous communities in the global South 
and contributed to their marginalisation. This book will appeal to 
undergraduate and graduate students, scholars, and academics in 
communication, media studies, languages, linguistics, cultural studies, 
and indigenous knowledge systems in higher education institutions. It 
will be a valuable resource for those interested in epistemologies of 
the South, decoloniality, postcoloniality, indigenisation, participatory 
knowledge, indigenous language legacies, indigenous artificial 
intelligence, and digital media in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
