In the digital era, many African countries sit at the crossroads of
a potential future that will be shaped by digital-era technologies
with existing laws and institutions constructed under conditions of
colonial and post-colonial authoritarian rule. In Disrupting
Africa, Olufunmilayo B. Arewa examines this intersection and shows
how it encompasses existing and new zones of contestation based on
ethnicity, religion, region, age, and other sources of division.
Arewa highlights specific collisions between the old and the new,
including in the 2020 #EndSARS protests in Nigeria, which involved
young people engaging with varied digital era technologies who
provoked a violent response from rulers threatened by the prospect
of political change. In this groundbreaking work, Arewa
demonstrates how lawmaking and legal processes during and after
colonialism continue to frame contexts in which digital
technologies are created, implemented, regulated, and used in
Africa today.
