In the rich tradition of mobile communication studies and new
media, this volume examines how mobile technologies are being
embraced by Indigenous people all over the world. As mobile phones
have revolutionised society both in developed and developing
countries, so Indigenous people are using mobile devices to bring
their communities into the twenty-first century. The explosion of
mobile devices and applications in Indigenous communities addresses
issues of isolation and building an environment for the learning
and sharing of knowledge, providing support for cultural and
language revitalisation, and offering the means for social and
economic renewal. 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.
