Digital Surveillance in Africa : Power, Agency, and Rights
Media coverage and scholarly research on digital surveillance has focused primarily on the USA and Europe.Everyone knows about Cambridge Analytica’s social media surveillance; Edward Snowden’s revelations of the West’s mass internet and phone surveillance; and Pegasus Spyware’s mobile phone surveillance of activists, journalists, judges, and presidents across the world.Comparatively little is known about the millions of dollars now being spent on digital technologies for use in the illegal and illegitimate surveillance of citizens in Africa. In this open-access third volume of Bloomsbury’s Digital Africa series, a broad range of African and European scholars and practitioners map the development, procurement and (mis)use of the ever-expanding suite of digital surveillance and policing technologies across the continent.Drawing on the empirically rich, theoretically sophisticated research of the African Digital Rights Network, this book examines how public and private actors in Africa use spyware, mobile phone extraction, biometric and face recognition systems, and other technologies for smart-city and other social, and social-control, applications.Eight chapters examine eight African countries, and each of these begins with a thorough political history of the nature of surveillance there under colonial and post-liberation political settlements.This enables new analyses of the socio-cultural, political, and economic drivers and characteristics of contemporary digital surveillance in each country, all of which ultimately leads to concrete policy recommendations at local, national, and international levels. For its empirical richness and breadth, as well as its theoretical sophistication, Digital Surveillance in Africa is essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary African studies, and it is of keen interest to anyone concerned with how digital surveillance affects everyday lives across the world.

Citizen Rights, Migrant Rights and Civic Stratification
This book explores the concept of civic stratification and examines its contemporary relevance for analysis and understanding of the functioning of rights in society. David Lockwood’s (1996) concept of civic stratification outlines the way in which the rights associated with citizenship can be a source of inequality by virtue of their formal granting or denial by the state, or by informal impediments to their full realisation.The purpose of this book is to explore the meaning and significance of this concept, and elaborate its potential in offering a framework for understanding the dynamic nature of rights.Lockwood’s model reverses Marshall’s (1950) view of citizenship as guaranteed inclusion in society and is linked to the way that the differential entitlement and the qualifying conditions associated with certain rights can be harnessed as a means of control.While both Marshall and Lockwood were principally concerned with the rights attaching to citizenship, this book extends the insights of these two authors to show how such controls apply in various ways to both citizens and non-citizens alike.Building on Lockwood’s conception of ‘moral resources’ the book set out a theoretical framework and empirical illustration of how the position of different groups within society is subject to shifting perceptions of social worth and is engaged both in claims to fuller access to rights and in justifications of their denial or removal. This book will appeal to scholars and higher-level students with relevant interests in sociolegal studies, sociology, social policy and politics.

On one hand, technology has allowed for greater access to information and communication, making it easier for people to organize and advocate for their rights. Social media and digital platforms have also amplified the voices of marginalized communities and brought attention to human rights issues. On the other hand, technology has also been used to surveil and suppress dissent, and has facilitated new forms of human rights abuses, such as online harassment and cyber attacks. Overall, technology has presented both opportunities and challenges in the advancement of human rights.

How do fundamental rights differ from human rights?
Fundamental rights are specific rights that are recognized and protected by a country's constitution or laws, and they are typically enforceable through legal means within that country. On the other hand, human rights are universal rights that are inherent to all human beings, regardless of their nationality or citizenship, and they are often recognized and protected by international agreements and treaties. While fundamental rights are specific to the legal framework of a particular country, human rights are considered to be universal and apply to all individuals worldwide. Additionally, fundamental rights may vary from country to country, while human rights are meant to be consistent and applicable to everyone.
