Press blurb:
Rainforest Radio Language Reclamation and Community Media in the Ecuadorian
Amazon
Georgia Ennis <https://uapress.arizona.edu/author/georgia-ennis> (Author)

Napo Kichwa communities in the Upper Ecuadorian Amazon find themselves
doubly marginalized by settler colonialism and well-intentioned language
revitalization projects.

In *Rainforest Radio* Georgia C. Ennis provides a comprehensive
ethnographic exploration of Amazonian Kichwa community media, offering a
unique look at how Indigenous broadcast and performance media facilitate
linguistic and cultural reclamation in the Ecuadorian Amazon.

This work offers a critical analysis of how standardized language
revitalization efforts, like the imposition of Unified Kichwa, can
inadvertently perpetuate linguistic oppression. Ennis follows producers,
performers, and consumers to understand the role of media in language
reclamation. Through extensive fieldwork, she provides vivid portrayals of
community efforts to sustain the language and cultural practices of their
elders amid environmental and social upheaval.
