Books by Victoria Bernal

How is the Internet transforming the relationships between citizens and states? The author combines media studies, ethnography, and African studies to explore this new political paradigm through an analysis of how Eritreans in diaspora have used the Internet to shape the course of Eritrean history.

Detailed, empirical, micro-level data back up Bernal's arguments as she explores labor markets, rural-to-urban migration, wage levels, patterns of work, capital accumulation, and their impact on Sudanese agriculture and the lives of peasant workers.
