This book proposes a new theorisation when studying cyber
dissidents in an African digital sphere. It argues that social
media dissidents are a recent development in a long lineage of
dissidents in African societies. Using Zimbabwe as a case study,
the study locates contemporary dissidents in the same family with
other historical dissident figures found in African orature, the
Chimurenga wars, through music, poetry and other forms of
expression. The book argues against techno-deterministic approaches
to studying social media-born digital dissidence in Africa. It is
aimed at scholars dedicated to studying social media movements in
African contexts and the global south generally, prompting them to
re-evaluate their earlier conclusions and adopt a more nuanced and
contextspecific approach.
