This book presents a new paradigm for attending to gender-based violence (GBV) social media discourse among marginalised Black women in South Africa.
Focusing on the intersections of television and social media, the study charts the morphing and merging of the “inside” of the soap opera and the “outside” of the real world, amid a rise in feminist social media activism.
