Analysing sociopolitical and ethnoreligious conflicts within an African-centred context, the author uses Nigeria as a lens to understand the digital and organisational aspects of digital media uses in the Occupy Nigeria movement protest, the Boko Haram conflict and The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) conflict. Timely, in a period of intense conflict across the globe, the author employs an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on the Cyberconflict Framework to examine conflicts emerging in computer-mediated environments. Examining the implications for socio-political and economic reform and change, the cases explored provide a snapshot of the emerging digital culture of conflict.  The book contributes to existing knowledge by bridging the gap in the literature on digital activism and conflict as a field of study.0 aPrint version record 0aInternet and activismzNigeria. 0aProtest movementszNigeria. 0aSocial mediaxPolitical aspectszNigeria. 7aLanguage Arts & Disciplines, Communication Studies.2bisacsh 7aCommunication studies.2bicssc  z9781787560154 0aDigital activism and society.40uhttps://www.emerald.com/insight/publication/doi/10.1108/9781787560147
