Colonialism and Cybercrime

Can historical injustice justify modern cybercrime?

Colonialism and Cybercrime explores one of the most difficult questions at the intersection of African history, technology, ethics, and the modern digital world.

The book examines the enduring effects of colonialism and asks how historical exploitation, inequality, reparations, and contemporary economic realities intersect with the rise of cybercrime in Africa.

It explores the ethical tension between understanding the historical circumstances that shaped African societies and holding individuals accountable for harmful actions committed in the digital age.

The book also considers the changing role of artificial intelligence, digital identity, online deception, cybersecurity, and digital trust, while looking toward Africa's place in the future of technology.
