8/20/17 review of book Terminal Signs, by Bennetta Jules-Rosette


Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the book Terminal Signs: Computers and Social Change in Africa, by Bennetta Jules-Rosette.

The thread gives a summary of the book and some context on Bennetta Jules-Rosette and how I came to read this work. It discusses Jules-Rosette's approach to semiotics. It shows how that approach can be applied to the stages of tech adoption in Kenya and Ivory Coast. It then discusses the aspects of that tech adoption in Kenya and Ivory Coast that the book examines. It also discusses how we could apply Jules-Rosette's theories to business, psychology, social media, and nonfiction literature.
