Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the consequences of the changing landscape of media communication on Black interactions in the virtual space. Current developments in technology, such as facial recognition, have already disproportionately affected people of color, especially people of African descent. The rise of DeepFakes and other forms of Fake News online has brought a host of new impacts and potential obstacles to the way that Black communities communicate. With a focus on the emergence of DeepFakes, and AI Synthetic Media, contributors have explored a range of themes and topics, including but not limited to: How do AI and digital algorithms impact people of color? How does Social Media shape Black women's perception of their body? How vulnerable are young Africans to social media generated fake news? Contributions have examined how Black virtual, in person and digital communication is affected by the current onslaught of misinformation, manipulated images and videos, and changing social media landscape.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when issues of globalisation and the mediating impact of the media as both catalyst and facilitator of an information-driven and knowledge-based post industrial society are fast assuming political and social relevance, it is imperative to adequately x-ray the inter-relationship between the media on the one hand, and governance and development on the other. This collection of essays offers different perspectives on the role of the mass media in these two important areas governance and development. This should not surprise the reader, considering the current social conditions and preoccupation of Nigerians after years of military rule. Drawing insights from the various theoretical and methodological traditions in mass communication scholarship, the essays offer fresh perspectives on developments in the Nigerian media industry. Most of the essays recognise the symbiotic relationship between the media and the Nigerian state and society. The book as a whole offers a comprehensive and accessible collection to students and researchers of media and communication studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook places emphasis on modern/contemporary times, and offers relevant sophisticated and comprehensive overviews. It aims to emphasize the religious, economic, political, cultural and social connections between Africa and the rest of the world and features comparisons as well as an interdisciplinary approach in order to examine the place of Africa in global history. "This book makes an important contribution to the discussion on the place of Africa in the world and of the world in Africa. An outstanding work of scholarship, it powerfully demonstrates that Africa is not marginal to global concerns. Its labor and resources have made our world, and the continent deserves our respect." – Mukhtar Umar Bunza, Professor of Social History, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, and Commissioner for Higher Education, Kebbi State, Nigeria "This is a deep plunge into the critical place of Africa in global history. The handbook blends a rich set of important tapestries and analysis of the conceptual framework of African diaspora histories, imperialism and globalization. By foregrounding the authentic voices of African interpreters of transnational interactions and exchanges, the Handbook demonstrates a genuine commitment to the promotion of decolonized and indigenous knowledge on African continent and its peoples." – Samuel Oloruntoba, Visiting Research Professor, Institute of African Studies, Carleton University
