Latin American communication scholarship has shaped global debates on mediation, dependency, and mediatization, yet most foundational texts remain unavailable in English. Latin american communication theories: From origins to contemporary approaches translates and contextualizes key writings from six decades of regional research for an international readership. Introductory and section-level editorial texts guide readers through the historical, institutional, and theoretical evolution of the field. Classic contributions appear alongside emerging voices, creating a structured overview that connects Latin American debates with contemporary global discussions in media and communication studies.
