Abstract "Authored entirely by African researchers, this open access book provides ten in-depth case studies of state-sponsored internet shutdowns across all regions of Africa. In so doing, it offers the first-ever comparative analysis of how African states use internet shutdowns as tools to close civic space, suppress opposition, and maintain power, all of which produces actionable recommendations"-- Provided by publisher.
