How can a community re-create itself after a civilwar? In El Salvador, returning refugees from thedevastated northern regions established localcommunity radio stations to inform, entertain andbuild a new cultural identity. Based on a year ofethnographic research, Naming the Future argues thatthese new community radios worked to activate avision of civil society, and fought to create localpublic spaces which could also help them enter thenational public sphere. They melded popular culturewith mass media through their partipatory programs.This popular culture helped their communities to workthrough their shared histories and experiences of thewar, the horrors and repression which it brought, andtheir dreams and efforts to attain them. It was alsoa way that they combined local traditions withglobalized music and other cultural flows whichincreasingly were part of their lives. For communication scholars, development workers andstudents alike, this in-depth study of radiohighlights the distinctive contribution ofparticipatory media forms to the development of civilsociety and the re-creation of local culture despitecivil war and intensifying globalization.
