native-owned Wawatay Radio Network in Northern Canada, 
alternative and community radio stations play an essential role for 
those at the margins of society – a medium that lets them speak as 
well as hear.

Among the stories told in the book are: Radio Echo of Moscow and 
the August 1991 coup d'état; two women's radio projects – in Peru 
and the Philippines: how indigenous people's radio in Canada and 
Mexico strengthen their communities: the Marconi Radio Taster's 
Café that is the doorway to the world of Radio 100, an Amsterdam 
squatters' station: the positive and negative side of international aid 
for a Sri Lankan local radio project: the history and prospects for 
community radio in South Africa: a tiny Black "pirate" station that has 
challenged the police and the Federal Communications Commission 
in the USA; the role of the El Salvadoran guerrilla station Radio 
Venceremos in a major rebel offensive. The electronic edition also 
includes a new chapter about Radio Chaguarurco, a station serving 
rural communities in Ecuador. 

First published in 1992, this book provides a fascinating glimpse of 
community radio 10 years ago, and a reminder of how much has 
changed, and how much has not…  
The book is also available in Spanish as Radioapasionados: 
Experiencias de la radio comunitaria en el mundo.
