Can claims to equality be made through hierarchical practices in unequal settings? Chapter 3 particularly highlights instances of the abuse of power and the creation of a critical listenership. Part 2 most closely engages with programme making and is ethnographically the richest: Chapter 4 in particular is compelling for its case analysis of news stories in search of the genre characteristics of their subject matter, notably stories of the occult and involving matrimonial and sexual misdemeanours; Chapter 5 examines the ways editors work upon stories submitted by the public in order to make them open to interpretation, often by [End Page ] adding proverbial interjections; Chapter 6 on editorial verification and the making of local correspondents is an intriguing exploration of the relationship between testimony and verity.
Part 3, taken up by reception in a broad sense, feels diverse, successive chapters 7 and 8 examining the reasons for the absence of stories from Englund's main fieldwork site from the programme, and arguing that the programme works as a general moral instruction regardless of this; and then presenting the contrasting narrative preferences of born-again Christians, who look for more inspirational content in radio programmes than is offered by the narratives of 'News from the Districts'.
A brief but wide-ranging conclusion returns to the possibility of equality based constitutively in obligations between people in non-egalitarian circumstances for which they are held to account by means which include programmes like ' Nkhani Zam' maboma '. Supplying a chapter breakdown is by way of saying that this is not an easy book to summarize.
Rather than a descriptive ethnography in a conventional sense, Englund has created his text from a series of linked engagements with, and discussions of, his evidence theorized from different perspectives.
