Description

Explore the complex relationship between rapid technological advancement and African sovereignty in this Routledge Contemporary Africa publication. This book examines how the fourth industrial revolution, characterized by the accelerated automation of traditional manufacturing through digital technology, impacts the global standing of the African continent. The author presents a compelling argument regarding the evolution of resource extraction. Moving beyond the historical looting of human capital and natural resources, the text explores how the modern era facilitates the looting of data and digital resources. By developing the concept of the "Coloniality of Data," the work positions the current technological revolution as a significant phase in the ongoing historical processes affecting Africa's role in the international community. This scholarly work is essential for readers interested in the intersection of digital technology, sociology, and African studies. It provides a critical perspective on how digital transformation can lead to further marginalization if current trends continue. Perfect for students and professionals studying anthropology, sociology, and global political economies.
