Part of the book series: Global Transformations in Media and Communication
Research - A Palgrave and IAMCR Series (GTMCR)

This book explores the ways in which adolescents in Nigeria domesticate
technology and the role of digital gatekeepers such as parents, guardians,
and teachers in their digital lifeworlds. Using a child-centred framework,
what emerges is a rounded and textured analysis of how technology fits into
pivotal aspects of the lives of teenagers. Here, teens are understood as
‘actors’ rather than just users of media and technology. The digital
lifeworlds of young people in advanced economies of the Minority World are
well-researched. In contrast, research focusing on pre-teens’ and
teenagers’ digital practices and participation in Majority World such as
Africa, is still fundamentally narrow. The book is relevant to fields like
sociology, media studies, youth studies, mobile media studies, African
studies, and global media studies.
