This
isa
study on the creative appropriation
ofinformation
and Communication
Technologies (ICTs) by mobile Africans and the communities to which they
belong, home and away. With a focus on Cameroonian migrants from
Pinyin
and
Mankon
who are currently living in Cape Town and the Netherlands, this
book examines the workings of the social fabric of mobile communities. It
sheds light on how these communities are crafting lives for themselves in the
host country and simultaneously linking up with the home country thanks
to advances in ICTs and road and air transport. ICTs and mobilities have
complemented social relational interaction and provide migrants today with
opportunities to partake in cultural practices that express their Pinyin-ness
and Mankon-ness.
Pinyin
and
Mankon
migrants are still as rooted in the past
as they are in the present.They were born into a community with its own sense
of home, moral ethos and cultural pride but live in a context of accelerated
ICTs and mobility that is fast changing the way they live their lives. Drawing
on this detailed ethnographic case study and related literature, Henrietta
Nyamnjoh argues that while ICTs continue to enhance mobility for those who
move and for those who stay put, they have become inextricably linked in
forging networks and reconfiguring existing ones. Contrary to earlier studies
that predicted radical social change and the passing of traditional societies
in the face of new technologies, ICTs have been appropriated to enhance the
workings of existing social relations and ways of life while simultaneously
pointing to new directions in ever more creative and innovative ways.
HENRIETTA M. NYAMNJOH holds a PhD from the University of Leiden since
2013.
She obtained an MPhil in Development Studies from the African Studies Centre at Leiden
University in the Netherlands in
2009.
Her thesis, which examined the mass migration of
fishermen from Senegal to the Canary Islands in an attempt to understand their motives
for leaving their home country, was published in
2010
titled
Wè
Get Nothing from Fish¬
ing : Fishing for Boat Opportunities amongst Senegalese Fisher Migrants The present book
stems from her PhD research.
