Beskrivning

The Idea of Matabeleland in Digital Spaces: Genealogies, Discourses, and Epistemic Struggles establishes a debate and dialogue between critical and post-/de-colonial approaches in the study of subalternity in online media representations. Editors Khanyile Mlotshwa and Mphathisi Ndlovu curate chapters that deal specifically with the intersectional subalternity of Matabeleland, a political and geographical region in the Southwest part of Zimbabwe comprising of three provinces: Matabeleland South, Matabeleland North, and Bulawayo metropolitan province. The subalternity of this region emerges in politics and popular culture, including media, as intersectional in terms of ethnicity, region, gender, class, and beyond. This book argues that in online spaces the liberatory politics of Matabeleland emerges as trapped in coloniality.

Recensioner i media

“Mlotshwa and Ndlovu have successfully assembled a stellar cohort of young and brilliant intellectuals to engage the important and often ignored question of Matebeleland in Zimbabwe from the vantage point of media studies. The result is a treasure trove—indeed a rich, enriching, and eye-opening study—of the multifaceted aspects of the Matebeleland question and idea ranging from memory, nationalism, identity, search for peace, cyberspace activism, performances, to photography. Just like they have Yoruba studies in Nigeria, here we have a good start in Matebeleland studies.”
