Throughout, the authors discover innovative interdisciplinary, intersectional perspectives that create new dialogues between queer theory, African decolonial thought, digital studies, and feminist technoscience, ultimately finding new ways of understanding what queer Africans are doing when they perform citizenship, cultivate kinship, and navigate surveillance and structural erasure via digital platforms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Through these discussions, this book makes important interventions into global debates on digital culture by centring African epistemologies and challenging Northern paradigms of visibility, identity, and civic participation. By treating queer African digital life not merely as an object of study, but rather as a site of theoretical innovation, the volume offers new vocabularies and ethical orientations for reimagining citizenship in the digital age.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
