Description

Miao Lu is an assistant professor in the Department of Cultural Studies at Lingnan University.

"This insightful book unearths the complex dynamics of China-Africa engagement in the mobile phone industry, beyond the staid critique of data colonialism and extractivism, weaving a powerful narrative of technological translation, digital labor, and local ingenuity while capturing the geopolitical tensions at the same time." --Payal Arora, author of From Pessimism to Promise: Lessons from the Global South on Designing Inclusive Tech
