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.
