"Focusing upon a range of consumption practices including the use of new
med.»
.,,,.,,,
phones, Powell examines how social media is used for rights-based claims and action. Giving voice
to everyday migrants, Powell provides a welcome corrective
io some
of the global political activism
that currently dominates the mobile and social media for social change literature"
'HNOtiRAPfn
ι
"Powell provides a rich understanding of the role ofnew ¡CTs in the social evolution and transition
towards a fully democratic and participatory society in South Africa, one of the most unequal
and violent societies worldwide. Sot trapped by simple answers,
lier
insights are based on detailed
ethnographic experience and cautious conclusions. Tins is a convincing and well-founded study."
"Beyond providing an empirically informed description of what mobile phones can and cannot
do, Powell challenges stereotypical representations of marginality in the townships of South Africa.
Viis book is valuable in recognising that the area is primarily one of migrants, both domestic and
international, and in trying to break down raciatised categories which tend to overly define South
African scholarship. Vie book offers a good blend of literature on xenophobia and migration in
South Africa with global debates about the use of mobile phones in generating new socialities."
What does it mean to be marginal? For residents of Cape Town's
Langa
Township, being considered
marginal is subject to a host of social, physical and sometimes materialistic qualifications
-
not
least of which is owning a mobile phone. Through various presentations of unique aspects of
township life revealed through ethnographic snapshots, this book reveals the complex realities of
marginalization experienced by some residents in
Langa
Township, located in Cape Town, South
Africa. Mobile phones have been embraced and accommodated by both local South Africans and
African immigrant residents living and working in
Langa.
Among other things, the technology has
become a way of challenging (real and imagined) marginalises within the township in particular
and South Africa in general. The book provides empirical data on the role of technology in
regards to migration and notions of belonging; specifically the ways that technology has mitigated
distance for residents, provided opportunities for development, facilitated the negotiation of
various marginalises, and offered new ways of belonging for
Langa
residents.
