Digital Activism in Zimbabwe: Dissent and Hegemony in the Information Age

Tenford Chitanana

This book investigates the role of the internet and social media in political processes in non-western and non-democratic contexts. Using Zimbabwe as a case study, the book demonstrates how activists and ordinary people deploy social media, particularly Facebook, to subvert an enduring hegemonic state.
