The widespread adoption of smartphones has led to an explosion of
mobile social media data, more than a billion messages per day that
continuously track location, content, and time. Social Media in the
Contemporary City focuses on the effects of social media on local
communities and urban space in a variety of political and economic
settings related to social activism, informal economic activity,
public art, and global extremism. The book covers events ranging
from Banksy art installations, mobile food trucks, and underground
restaurants, to a Black Lives Matter protest, the Christchurch
mosque shootings, and the Pulse nightclub shooting. The interplay
between urban space, local community, and social media in each case
study requires diverse methodologies that are both computational
(i.e. machine learning, social network analysis, and natural
language processing) and ethnographic (i.e. semi-structured
interviews, thematic analysis, and site analysis). The book views
social media not as a replacement for the local community or urban
space but rather as a translation of the uses and meanings of all
three realms. The book will be of interest to students,
researchers, and instructors in a number of disciplines including
urban design/planning, media studies, geography, and
communications.

Politics of Constitution-Making in Africa addresses the forces and
power dynamics of constitutional making processes that shaped the
development of the national constitutions using Uganda as a case
study.Democratic processes of constitution-making have become the
norm and have assumed a new value within the context of debates
about politics, statehood, and democracy.This book's emphasis is on
the processes that were used to make decisions that determined the
outcome of Uganda's constitutions. Outcome of the process depends
less on its design than other dynamics like, political leaders,
politics of the day, international community agenda;and the
like.Uganda has gone through consultative and non-consultative
constitution-making processes since 1958.But these processes have
not resulted into durable constitutionalism because successive
governments have manipulated the process to suit their own
political needs.Hence, the constitutions Uganda has had, have not
stood the test of time.The central focuss therefore, is on the
processes, the forces and the underlying power dynamics that have
influenced the constitution-making processes which have rendered
the constitutions unworkable.
