Description
Through multiple case studies, this book examines political and medical disinformation in Africa as well as how conspiracy theories have been weaponized, the impact of social media on this phenomenon, and strategies to curb disinformation.
Admire Mare and Allen Munoriyarwa analyze how disinformation has shown up in Africa and how to combat this. The book begins with historicizing disinformation before diving into how this has shown up in elections and medical spheres, the nexus between journalism and disinformation, and how to address the issue of disinformation.
