‘Dismantling Cultural Borders Through Social Media and Digital Communications
Edited by Emmanuel K. Ngwainmbi
‘Dismantling Cultural Borders Through Social Media and Digital Communications: How Networked Communities Compromise Identity’ analyzes how social media and its networked communities have literally compromised individual and ethnic group identities. It also examines a broad spectrum of social media roles in shaping new communities such as how global media representations in the Global North mitigate hate speech and how the Global South can use digital media to create business opportunities. This book further provides relevant theoretical frameworks and recent empirical research findings on various networked communities. It focuses on social media participation in rural and urban communities across the seven continents while scrutinizing social media experiences in indigenous and urban communities worldwide.
