This edited collection takes that crossroad as its starting point, as it both examines the complicated present and looks to the uncertain future of African communication systems. Contributing authors explore how western digital communication systems have proliferated in the African communication landscape, and argue that rich and long-cherished African forms of communal, in-person communication have been increasingly abandoned in favor of assimilation to western digital norms. As a result, future generations of Africans born on the continent and abroad may never recognize and appreciate African systems of communications..Acknowledging that globalized digital communication systems are here to stay, the volume contends that in order to comprehend the past, present, and future of African communications, scholars need to decolonize their approach to teaching and consuming mediated and in-person communications on the African continent and abroad. . | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | 关键词 | Digital communication; Communication in Africa; Decolonial; Western digital communication; Kemetic digit | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-42404-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-42406-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-42404-6 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
