{"product_id":"social-media-and-digital-dissidence-trust-matsilele-9783031084027","title":"Social Media and Digital Dissidence in Zimbabwe","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book proposes a new theorisation when studying cyber dissidents in an African digital sphere. It argues that social media dissidents are a recent development in a long lineage of dissidents in African societies. Using Zimbabwe as a case study, the study locates contemporary dissidents in the same family with other historical dissident figures found in African orature, the Chimurenga wars, through music, poetry and other forms of expression. The book argues against techno-deterministic approaches to studying social media-born digital dissidence in Africa. It is aimed at scholars dedicated to studying social media movements in African contexts and the global south generally, prompting them to re-evaluate their earlier conclusions and adopt a more nuanced and contextspecific approach.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Trust Matsilele\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031084020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031084027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.50d","brand":"Trust Matsilele","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072371093759,"sku":"9783031084027","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3abff0bf-d343-4fe9-b743-9238cb6985ca.jpg?v=1685441559","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-media-and-digital-dissidence-trust-matsilele-9783031084027","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
