Mobile phones/ICT are shown to be linked to neoliberal understandings of more democratic governance structures, defined by the World Bank governance indicators as: the rule of law, corruption-control, regulation quality, government effectiveness, political stability/ no violence and voice and accountability. However, this definition deviates from bottom-up governance/public administration. This book examines how well ICTs are attached to governance structures that serve the most marginalized members of society, and especially women. Written from an African feminist scholar-activist perspective, the book emphasizes the voices of women and demonstrates how their framings are important when we consider science and technology in society. Assata Zerai argues that encumbered access to information and communications technology (ICT) among women on the African continent (and in its Diaspora) creates barriers to communal discourse and problem solving. Challenging the status quo that praises mobile phones' contributions to the diffusion of knowledge and resulting better governance in Africa, this book is an important read for scholars of politics and technology, gender and politics and African Studies.
