Book launch with Nanjala Nyabola – in conversation with Dr Duncan Omanga

Join us for a pre-book launch with Nanjala Nyabola, the author of the forthcoming ”Digital Democracy, Analogue Politics: How the Internet Era is Transforming Kenya” (ZED books/African Arguments, 2018). The book seeks to reframe digital democracy from an African perspective, exploring the drastic efforts being made by elites to contain online activism, as well as how ‘fake news’, a failed digital vote-counting system, and the incumbent president’s recruitment of Cambridge Analytica contributed to tensions around the 2017 elections.
