This annotated bibliography, of major published works on mass communication in Africa (mainly, the Anglophone sub-Saharan region), is the third of such publications that have been undertaken by the African Council for Communication Education (ACCE) to promote in the continent the development and wide-spread use of textbooks and other teaching and research materials that are relevant to local conditions and anchored on the experiences of Africa's rich variety of socio-cultural, economic and political traditions. The earlier two bibliographical inventories, produced by ACCE in 1991 and 1994, were unannotated. The present publication is unique only in terms of the providing an updated and summary assessment of relevant works in the field, with the aim of facilitating easier access and appreciation of the import of such works for the better understanding of the complexity of mass communication phenomenon in contemporary African settings.
