Zusammenfassung:The author outlines a largely empirical study of how hegemony is constructed and contested within the boundaries of Nigeria and how all this is reflected in the country's newspaper press both in terms of reported reality as well as in terms of the unreported factors and forces that determined reported reality. The book is divided into two sections: the first, a brief one, theoretically explores the terrain of hegemony, focusing on the African context and role of the media of mass communication with regard to the drive toward hegemony; the second section outlines an empirical case study of the Nigerian press from 1960 to 1983.
