This book investigates the ways in which peripheral news actors in digital media are transforming journalism in Zimbabwe.Journalism’s boundaries have become blurred, porous and fuzzy as non‑traditional news actors—such as bloggers, social media influencers, citizen journalists, start‑ups, satirists, comedians and fact‑checkers—gain increasing influence in digital spaces. As legacy news media attempt to ring‑fence the field, journalism becomes both ‘boundaried’ and ‘boundless’. This book examines how peripheral journalistic practices are impacting Zimbabwe—a semi‑authoritarian regime facing significant economic pressures. Taking into account Zimbabwe’s specific sociocultural, political and economic context, this book explores how political issues are mediated by periphery actors, how they deal with challenges to their legitimacy and professionalism, how sustainable their positions are and finally what the implications of shifting journalistic boundaries are for education and training institutions.As the impact of digital technologies continues to rise, this timely book will be an important read for researchers working on journalism, media and communication, and African studies.

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.

This book explores how popular cultural artifacts, literary texts, commemorative practices and other forms of remembrances are used to convey, transmit and contest memories of mass atrocities in the Global South. Some of these historical atrocities took place during the Cold war. As such, this book unpacks the influence or role of the global powers in conflict in the Global South. Contributors are grappling with a number of issues such as the politics of memorialization, memory conflicts, exhumations, reburials, historical dialogue, peacebuilding and social healing, memory activism, visual representation, transgenerational transmission of memories, and identity politics.
