In Internet Decolonized, Henna Zamurd Butt and M.I. Franklin bring together a collection of cutting-edge essays examining the internet and its governance from a range of decolonial perspectives. Contributors--many from Indigenous communities, World Majority, and Global South regions--unpack the historical, political economic and sociocultural dimensions of internet development as an Anglo-American and western European project. The authors look at two areas of concern for scholars, policymakers, and social justice advocates: 1) the geopolitics and business of internet technological design and 2) how best to govern the internet as a global communications and information infrastructure. The first considers the landscape of the internet industry and its socio-culturally embedded terms of access and use, and operating standards. The second addresses issues arising from the realm of internet and technology policymaking and regulation, spaces in which industry, governments and civil society representatives come together to set public policy agendas. Examining diverse approaches to what it means to "decolonize the internet," the book presents real-world cases to bring into focus the vested interests of past, present, and future hi-tech projects, grassroots and community-based alternatives, experiences in human-centered advocacy for internet futures and governance models. Contributors offer insights into longstanding and emerging controversies and research priorities as actors and voices active in shaping the next generation of sustainable and rights-respecting internet policymaking and design.
