Beskrivning
Online Philanthropy in the Global North and South: Connecting, Microfinancing, and Gaming for Change offers a critical examination how online philanthropy operates through digital connectivity, affective networks of well-meaning digital givers, and the commodification of poverty through what is conceptualized as the “digital subaltern.” Chapters examine a range of online philanthropy settings such as online microfinance platforms and games for change, with case studies revealing unseen problems in how digital inclusion and financialization are attempted through the joint forces of NGOization and ITization.

How do internet technologies help those who want to help the world's poor? In this exciting and highly original new work, Radhika Gajjala explores this question by bringing together concepts and theoretical frameworks rarely placed in conversation with one another, namely digital media technologies and philanthropy. It will shift conversations at the intersections of postcolonial studies, development studies, affect studies, race and technology studies, and gender and globalization studies.
