Many have argued that in Africa, where most have gone from no phone to mobile phone, this improved access to technology and information will usher in socio-economic development, changing everything from health services to electoral participation to engagement with the global economy. Julie Soleil Archambault reveals how better access to information is not necessarily a good thing, and offers a complete rethinking of how we understand uncertainty, truth, and ignorance. By engaging with young adults in a Mozambique suburb who have adopted mobile phones in their daily lives, Archambault shows that they have become necessary tools for pretense and falsification, allowing youths not only to mitigate but also court, produce, and sustain uncertainty in their efforts to create fulfilling lives in the harsh world of postwar Mozambique. She explores how telecommunication opens up new virtual spaces of sociality in which people can imagine and enact alternate lives. As Mobile Secrets shows, new technologies have not only facilitated access to information in Mozambique, but they have also helped mute social conflicts, allowing everyone to feign ignorance about the workings of the postwar intimate economy. 650 0 $a Youth $z Inhambane $z Inhambane $x Social life and customs. 650 0 $a Cell phones $x Social aspects $z Inhambane. $z Inhambane. 650 0 $a Cell phone etiquette $z Inhambane. $z Inhambane. 650 0 $a Courtship $z Inhambane. $z Inhambane. 650 0 $a Communication and technology $z Mozambique. 651 0 $a Inhambane (Mozambique) $x Social life and customs. 650 7 $a Cell phone etiquette. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01735602 650 7 $a Cell phones $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01766754 650 7 $a Communication and technology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00870044 650 7 $a Courtship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00881873 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Youth $x Social life and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01183539 651 7 $a Mozambique. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01214418 651 7 $a Mozambique $z Inhambane. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01865517 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210030017.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DFA8AC6AEA0A11E7B6F5700597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
