解説
Over the last 25 years, the "Africa Rising" discourse has been used to signify hope and promise for the continent, marking a break from previous pessimistic portrayals. This book critically examines that discourse, analyzing recurring themes, tropes, metaphors, and imagery.
It traces the evolution of the "Africa Rising" discourse and its connection with Afro-pessimism, providing valuable insights into how the continent is represented and understood. The book explores the tensions, contradictions and impacts of labeling Africa as "rising". Focusing on both local and global social actors, as well as geopolitical influences, it examines how these forces have shaped the discourse over time. Additionally, it highlights how African actors have engaged with and modified the discourse. For instance, the book assesses how in recent years digital media platforms have offered spaces for counternarratives that challenge stereotypical representations, leading to a more nuanced and diverse understanding of Africa's rise.
This book offers valuable insights for researchers in Media and Communication Studies, Digital Media, Journalism, African Studies, and Global Studies.
