About the Book: /Media and Marginality: Inclusion, Exclusion and 
Representation/ delves into the intricate relationship between media and 
marginalised communities. The volume critically examines how social, 
cultural, and political processes of inclusion and exclusion shape the 
representation of women, Dalits, Muslims, Tribals, LGBTQIA+ individuals, 
and ethnic minorities such as the Khasi and Bifran communities.

With contributions from eminent scholars across the globe, the book 
adopts an interdisciplinary approach that integrates insights from 
sociology, political science, cultural studies, economics, anthropology, 
and women’s studies. It not only explores the challenges of 
representation in contemporary media but also highlights how alternative 
and community media platforms can serve as sites of resistance and 
empowerment.

This peer-reviewed volume is an invaluable resource for undergraduate 
and postgraduate students, doctoral researchers, and academics in media 
and cultural studies. It offers theoretical depth alongside case-based 
analyses from India, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Turkey, and beyond, making it 
essential reading for those seeking to understand the media’s role in 
shaping marginal voices.
