This book, the second of two volumes, explores the challenges and
opportunities presented by the increased presence of social media
within African politics. Electoral processes in Africa have assumed
new dimensions due to the influence of social media. As social
media permeates different aspects of elections, it is ostensibly
creating new challenges and opportunities. Most evident are the
challenges of hate speech, misogyny and incivility. This book
considers the impact of digital media before, during, and after
elections, as well as authorities' attempts to legislate and
regulate the internet in response. Contributions to this volume
analyse social media posts, transgressive images, newspaper
articles, and include case studies of Algeria, Zimbabwe, Kenya,
South Africa, Nigeria and Uganda. This results in the delivery of
an original depiction of the use of social media in a variety of
African contexts. This book will appeal to academics and students
of media and communication studies, political studies, journalism,
sociology, and African studies.
