THE POLITICS OF TECHNOLOGY IN AFRICA, communication, development, and nation-building in Ethiopia

179pp., illus., paperback, Reprint, Cambridge, (2016) 2019

"The emphasis the book places on the 'technopolitics' of ICTs, and on their ability to embody and enact political goals, offers a strong and empirically grounded counter-argument to prevalent approaches to the study of technology and development that can be applied to other cases in Africa and beyond." from the back cover
