The political branch of the field of ICT-for-Development (ICT4D) is firmly convinced that this translates in civic engagement and democratisation. This book questions this conception, by showing that mistrust greatly increases through new ICT in a society where mistrust has been internalised. These processes are examined in the society encountered in Sokodé, the capital of the Central Region of Togo, in the period between 2015 and 2020, when the mobile phone became widespread among young people. This ethnographic research provides a snapshot of the changes brought about by new ICT in the social fabrics and the lives of these young people. The place and period are highly relevant for getting a better understanding of the forms that civic engagement can take, and the roles that new ICT can play in settings of political repression. Togo has been ruled by the same family for over half a century, and Sokodé is one of the rare places of fierce political opposition. However, young people do not persevere in massive street protests like in other countries, even though they appear to have every reason to do so. How can the circumstances and social processes be understood that are leading to this 'political silence', and how do frustration and anger find their way? The link between new ICT and civic engagement has more often been made, but mostly quantitative and volatile, lacking empirical grounding. This book demonstrates that there is indeed a connection between new ICT and social change. Through their phones, young people inform themselves in different ways, and they react differently to social and political changes. Their reflection on politics has also altered, minimal as it may seem. By closely regarding the context and mechanisms by which the trustworthiness of information is valued, this book contributes to the nascent research field of communication and political anthropology. lok: 49161576 3 exp: 49161576 3 1 #EPN 201B/01 $001-11-24 $t02:23:11.834 201C/01 $001-11-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01279460822 204P/01 $010.1515/9783110675306 $S0 208@/01 $a01-11-24 $bl lok: 49161576 5 exp: 49161576 5 1 #EPN 201B/01 $001-11-24 $t02:23:11.838 201C/01 $001-11-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01279460830 204P/01 $010.1515/9783110675306 $S0 208@/01 $a01-11-24 $bl lok: 49161576 8 exp: 49161576 8 1 #EPN 201B/01 $001-11-24 $t02:23:11.841 201C/01 $001-11-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01279460849 204P/01 $010.1515/9783110675306 $S0 208@/01 $a01-11-24 $bl lok: 49161576 10 exp: 49161576 10 1 #EPN 201B/01 $001-11-24 $t02:23:11.843 201C/01 $001-11-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01279460857 204P/01 $010.1515/9783110675306 $S0 208@/01 $a01-11-24 $bl lok: 49161576 11 exp: 49161576 11 1 #EPN 201B/01 $001-11-24 $t02:23:11.847 201C/01 $001-11-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01279460865 204P/01 $010.1515/9783110675306 $S0 208@/01 $a01-11-24 $bl lok: 49161576 13 exp: 49161576 13 1 #EPN 201B/01 $001-11-24 $t02:23:11.851 201C/01 $001-11-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01279460873 204P/01 $010.1515/9783110675306 $S0 208@/01 $a01-11-24 $bl lok: 49161576 20 exp: 49161576 20 1 #EPN 201B/01 $001-11-24 $t02:23:11.855 201C/01 $001-11-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01279460881 204P/01 $010.1515/9783110675306 $S0 208@/01 $a01-11-24 $bl lok: 49161576 21 exp: 49161576 21 1 #EPN 201B/01 $001-11-24 $t02:23:11.858 201C/01 $001-11-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $0127946089X 204P/01 $010.1515/9783110675306 $S0 208@/01 $a01-11-24 $bl lok: 49161576 23 exp: 49161576 23 1 #EPN 201B/01 $007-04-25 $t22:36:29.000 201C/01 $001-11-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01279460784 204P/01 $010.1515/9783110675306 $S0 208@/01 $a01-11-24 $bl lok: 49161576 24 exp: 49161576 24 1 #EPN 201B/01 $001-11-24 $t02:23:11.861 201C/01 $001-11-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01279460903 204P/01 $010.1515/9783110675306 $S0 208@/01 $a01-11-24 $bl lok: 49161576 25 exp: 49161576 25 1 #EPN 201B/01 $009-03-22 $t18:15:28.000 201C/01 $009-03-22 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01185310789 208@/01 $a09-03-22 $boeb 209B/01 $adG ebs $x05 209S/01 $uhttps://doi.org/10.1515/9783110675306 $XR 237A/01 $aOnline-Zugang nur im Netz der Universität Mainz exp: 49161576 25 2 #EPN 201B/02 $001-11-24 $t02:23:11.799 201C/02 $001-11-24 201U/02 $0utf8 203@/02 $01279460792 204P/02 $010.1515/9783110675306 $S0 208@/02 $a01-11-24 $bl lok: 49161576 36 exp: 49161576 36 1 #EPN 201B/01 $001-11-24 $t02:23:11.864 201C/01 $001-11-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01279460911 204P/01 $010.1515/9783110675306 $S0 208@/01 $a01-11-24 $bl lok: 49161576 49 exp: 49161576 49 1 #EPN 201B/01 $001-11-24 $t02:23:11.867 201C/01 $001-11-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $0127946092X 204P/01 $010.1515/9783110675306 $S0 208@/01 $a01-11-24 $bl lok: 49161576 51 exp: 49161576 51 1 #EPN 201B/01 $001-11-24 $t02:23:11.873 201C/01 $001-11-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01279460946 204P/01 $010.1515/9783110675306 $S0 208@/01 $a01-11-24 $bl lok: 49161576 54 exp: 49161576 54 1 #EPN 201B/01 $001-11-24 $t02:23:11.875 201C/01 $001-11-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01279460954 204P/01 $010.1515/9783110675306 $S0 208@/01 $a01-11-24 $bl lok: 49161576 59 exp: 49161576 59 1 #EPN 201B/01 $001-11-24 $t02:23:11.882 201C/01 $001-11-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01279460970 204P/01 $010.1515/9783110675306 $S0 208@/01 $a01-11-24 $bl lok: 49161576 69 exp: 49161576 69 1 #EPN 201B/01 $001-11-24 $t02:23:11.886 201C/01 $001-11-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01279460989 204P/01 $010.1515/9783110675306 $S0 208@/01 $a01-11-24 $bl lok: 49161576 75 exp: 49161576 75 1 #EPN 201B/01 $001-11-24 $t02:23:11.888 201C/01 $001-11-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01279460997 204P/01 $010.1515/9783110675306 $S0 208@/01 $a01-11-24 $bl lok: 49161576 76 exp: 49161576 76 1 #EPN 201B/01 $001-11-24 $t02:23:11.895 201C/01 $001-11-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01279461004 204P/01 $010.1515/9783110675306 $S0 208@/01 $a01-11-24 $bl lok: 49161576 107 exp: 49161576 107 1 #EPN 201B/01 $001-11-24 $t02:23:11.900 201C/01 $001-11-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01279461012 204P/01 $010.1515/9783110675306 $S0 208@/01 $a01-11-24 $bl lok: 49161576 108 exp: 49161576 108 1 #EPN 201B/01 $001-11-24 $t02:23:11.903 201C/01 $001-11-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01279461020 204P/01 $010.1515/9783110675306 $S0 208@/01 $a01-11-24 $bl lok: 49161576 204 exp: 49161576 204 1 #EPN 201B/01 $015-10-24 $t17:59:06.000 201C/01 $011-03-22 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01185493557 204P/01 $010.1515/9783110675306 208@/01 $a11-03-22 $bo994 209B/01 $aEBAdg $x05 220C/01 $aE-Book nicht dauerhaft im Bestand.
