This book discusses how digital inequalities today may lead to
other types of inequalities in the Global South. Contributions to
this collection move past discussing an access problem - a binary
division between 'haves and have-nots' - to analyse complex
inequalities in the internet use, benefits, and opportunities of
people in the Global South region. Using specific case studies,
this book underlines how communities in the Global South are now
attempting to participate in the information age despite high
costs, a lack of infrastructure, and more barriers to entry.
Contributions discuss the recent changes in the Global South. These
changes include greater technological availability, the spread of
digital literacy programs and computer courses, and the overall
growth in engagement of people from different backgrounds,
ethnicities, and languages in digital environments. This book
outlines and evaluates the role of state and public institutions in
facilitating these changes and consequently bridging the digital
divide.
