This book explores how mobile technologies are overcoming disadvantage and the tyrannies of distance, allowing benefits to flow directly to Indigenous people and bringing wide-ranging changes to their lives. It begins with general issues and theoretical perspectives followed by empirical case studies that include the establishment of Indigenous mobile networks and practices, mobile technologies for social change and, finally, the ways in which mobile technology is being used to sustain Indigenous culture and language. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurel Evelyn Dyson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138793310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138793316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/21\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Laurel Evelyn Dyson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065367802111,"sku":"9781138793316","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_784f135e-d701-4e70-a487-447fc90baa55.jpg?v=1768674737","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/indigenous-people-and-mobile-technologies-laurel-evelyn-dyson-9781138793316","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
