Synopsis

Social media’s disruptiveness in Africa is evident in every facet of the life of Africans. Interestingly, these disruptions present opportunities that could stir up development. This book throws a spotlight on the tremendous significance of the disruption of social media in the fields of healthcare, politics, governance, conflict resolution, peaceful co-existence as well as communication and reporting. The freedom and influence of social media require that some monitoring mechanisms are put in place to guard against the unhealthy trend of invading privacy- a sting of social media. Each of the chapters in the book intelligently discusses social media disruption in an area of human endeavour and presents a scholarly probe into how resilience could be built. This book is a great resource for scholars who want to get a holistic understanding of the disruptiveness in the social media ecosystem in Africa and how resilience could be built to sustain its use on the continent.
