Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The twenty-first-century scramble for Africa is invisible. It is not fought with occupying armies or territorial land grabs. Instead, it is waged through algorithms, digital public infrastructures, and the relentless extraction of data. Digital Colonization and Technology Security in Africa: A Case Study of Ghana, West Africa by Christopher Noyuoro, George Gyader, and Frank Kannigenye Teng-Zeng offers a critical examination of how digital technologies are reshaping African governance and development, exposing the paradox of connectivity without sovereignty. The authors argue that Africa finds itself once again at the center of a global scramble-this time not for rubber, gold, or oil, but for data . Every mobile payment, social media post, satellite image, and biometric enrollment feeds the digital empires of Silicon Valley and Shenzhen. The pattern is hauntingly familiar: Africa supplies the raw input, but the wealth it creates flows elsewhere. As scholars Nick Couldry and Ulises Mejias observe, data extraction is the modern-day equivalent of historical land grabs-what is now being appropriated is human life through its conversion into data. Ghana serves as a compelling case study in this broader narrative of digital colonization. The country's experience with technological transformation reveals both the promise of digital innovation and the precarity of dependency. The March 2024 failure of three undersea cables (WACS, MainOne, and ACE) plunged West and Central Africa into a near-blackout, crippling banks, hospitals, telecoms, and public services . Even Accra's state-of-the-art data centers, built with foreign capital, could not insulate Ghana from the crisis. This is what digital colonialism looks like: infrastructure that sits on African soil but remains governed elsewhere-proximity without control, connectivity without sovereignty . The book examines the dual mechanisms of extraction shaping Africa's digital future. The 'Hard Power' model is aggressively transactional: in late 2025, the United States demanded decades-long access to national health data systems in exchange for health assistance. Ghana's rejection of a $109 million U.S. health deal.…
