While revolutionary movements of the 1960s and 1970s in Europe, the United States and Latin America have been the subject of abundant literature, similar movements that emerged in Africa have received comparatively little attention. In an extract from their forthcoming book, the editors, Pascal Bianchini, Ndongo Sylla and Leo Zeilig shed new light on these political movements.

Most research into online misinformation has investigated its direct
effects—the impact it may have on citizens' beliefs and behaviour. Much
less attention has been paid to how citizens themselves make sense of
misinformation as a broader social problem, even though such attitudes are
