Disrupting Africa

Are you ready to take a journey into the digital future of Africa? Look no further than Disrupting Africa, a captivating book by Olufunmilayo B. Arewa. In this groundbreaking work, Arewa explores the collision between existing laws and institutions and the rapidly evolving digital-era technologies that are reshaping the continent.

With an astute understanding of the complexities of post-colonial Africa, Disrupting Africa delves into the various zones of contestation that arise from factors such as ethnicity, religion, region, age, and more. Arewa highlights the significance of these divisions and their impact on the continent's progress.

One of the most compelling examples discussed in the book is the 2020 #EndSARS protests in Nigeria. Arewa sheds light on the role of young people in these protests, leveraging digital technologies to demand political change. However, this push for transformation was met with a violent response from those in power who feared the disruption it could bring.

Through meticulous research and expert analysis, Arewa demonstrates how Africa's legal framework, shaped during and after colonialism, continues to influence the creation, implementation, regulation, and usage of digital technologies today. Disrupting Africa offers invaluable insights into the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead – for individuals, businesses, and governments.
