CDA and post colonial studies

[Andrew Kanyegirire]

Thanks a bunch Rosemary...some of the analyses done by Wodak...Fowler might come
in handy as well. There's is also some CDA type analyses that has been used in
the close readings of works by Fanon, Morrison, Rushdie...

My interest is in the official policy documents and news clippings on NEPAD...
there is growing list of analyses on on media discourse...but not much of it
examines the media in Africa.

So am kinda having to rely on those works that explore some of my research
interests.

all the best.
