Afterword

Abstract

Abstract The digital turn has been accompanied by persistent divides. A critical engagement of the digital outside the Global North requires more than just considering access. We must also account for the perpetuation of existing cultural, political, social, and economic inequalities and opportunities as consequences of historical legacies, demographic compositions, and structural predispositions. Capturing these logics requires a nuanced undertaking beyond West-centric treatments of the Global South, which either essentialize it or homogenize what are otherwise richly complex dynamics.
