A self-styled grandfather on air, Gogo Breeze seeks intimacy over the airwaves and dispenses advice on a wide variety of grievances and transgressions. Multiple voices are broadcast and juxtaposed through call-ins and dialogue, but free speech finds its ally in the radio elder who, by allowing people to be heard and supporting their claims, reminds authorities of their obligations toward the disaffected. Harri Englund provides a masterfully detailed study of this popular radio personality that addresses broad questions of free speech in Zambia and beyond. By drawing on ethnographic insights into political communication, Englund presents multivocal morality as an alternative to dominant Euro-American perspectives, displacing the simplistic notion of voice as individual personal property an idea common in both policy and activist rhetoric. Instead, Englund focuses on the creativity and polyphony of Zambian radio while raising important questions about hierarchy, elderhood, and ethics in the public sphere. A lively, engaging portrait of an extraordinary personality, Gogo Breeze will interest Africanists, scholars of radio and mass media, and anyone interested in the history and future of free speech 583 |5Afr|aafrwide 2018-1 1802c 600 00 Gogo Breeze 610 20 Breeze FM (Radio station : Zambia) 650 0 Radio broadcasting|zZambia 650 0 Mass media|xSocial aspects|zZambia 650 0 Mass media|xSocial aspects 650 0 Radio broadcasting 650 4 |5Afr|aMass media 650 4 |5Afr|aRadio 650 4 |5Afr|aBroadcasting 650 4 |5Afr|aFreedom of speech 650 7 Radiosändning|2sao 650 7 Massmedia - sociala aspekter|2sao 650 7 Yttrandefrihet|2sao 651 4 Zambia 651 4 |5Afr|aZambia 653 Dawit Isaak-biblioteket
