This book looks at how digital technologies are revolutionizing
electoral campaigns and democratization struggles in Africa.
Digital technologies are giving voice and civic agency to a cross
section of African voters, providing important spaces for political
engagement and debate. Drawing on cases from Kenya, Uganda,
Mozambique, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Zimbabwe amongst others, this
book traces the shifts and tensions in this changing electoral
communications landscape. In doing so, the book explores themes
such as hate speech and disinformation, decolonisation,
surveillance, internet shutdowns, influencers, bots, algorithms,
and election observation, and looks beyond Facebook, Twitter,
WhatsApp and YouTube to the increasingly important role of visual
platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. Particularly highlighting
the contribution of African scholars, this book is an important
guide for researchers across the fields of African politics, media
studies, and electoral studies, as well as to professionals and
policymakers in political communication.
