Series: Palgrave Studies in Communication for Social Change

New technologies may have transformed human societies, but not much has been written on how they are impacting people in Africa and other developing regions, in terms of how they use technology to enhance their socioeconomic conditions in everyday life. This book critically examines these issues from theoretical, practical and policy perspectives.

Reviews for New Technologies in Developing Societies: From Theory to Practice

“The book clearly communicates multiple theoretical positions in the field, and summarises well several pertinent empirical studies. In particular, the predominant focus on contemporary African media dynamics provides a useful and welcome contribution to a field too often dominated by exclusively Western priorities.” (Thomas Owen, Communication Research and Practice, Vol. 2 (1), 2016)
