Urban Ghana and Privacy in the Digital Age: An Ethnographic Exploration

Elad Ben Elul

4.9/5 (29350 ratings)

Description:"This book explores privacy practices and the role of digital technologies in the lives of urban Ghanaians, considering how they use language, materiality and culture to maintain sharp boundaries between the private and public. Focusing on the harbour town of Tema, it offers rich ethnographic portraits that cover topics such as nightlife, domestic architecture, religion, and social media. The volume demonstrates how transformations across Africa such as Pentecostal reformation, neo-liberal reforms and rapid digitisation all raise the need for privacy among middle-class urbanites who use brand new (and very traditional) strategies to uphold an image of their economic or religious state. Overall the book highlights how digital technologies intertwine with local cultures and histories, and how digital anthropology enhances our understanding of the offline as much as the online. It makes a valuable contribution to discourse about the right for privacy and surveillance in the digital age, and will be of interest to scholars from anthropology and African studies"--We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
