This book argues for hybridity of Western and African cultures within
cybercultural and subcultural forms of communication. Kehbuma Langmia
argues that when both Western and African cultures merge together
through new forms of digital communication, marginalized populations
in Africa are able to embrace communication, which could help in the
socio-cultural and political development of the continent. On the
other hand, the book also engages Richard McPhail’s Electronic
Colonization Theory in order to demonstrate how developing areas such
as Africa experience a new form of imperialistic subjugation because
of electronic and digital communication. Globalization and
Cyberculture illustrates how new forms of communication inculcate
age-old traditional forms of communications into Africa’s
cyberculture while complicating notions of identity, dependency, and
the digital divide gap.
