Language, Literature and Social Media: A Spectrum of Discourses in Times of Crises

Camilla Arundie Tabe & James Ngoin Tasah (eds.)

University of Maroua

This is a valuable book on social media as valued channels for information dissemination with positive and negative implications in language and Literature. Social media provides an excess of conflicting and often imprecise information which can be both inadvertent and deliberately propagated by individuals and groups. Today all crises are inconspicuously communicated through social media, which are widely accepted platforms for public information exchange and crises management communication. This book emphases on the potential of language, literature and social media in fueling or solving such crises. It is composed of two parts.

Part one focuses on language and literature and comprises ten chapters. The authors describe language and the cascading effects of crises such as the Russian-Ukraine war, the Anglophone crisis in Cameroon, the Ngarbuh massacre in southern Cameroon and the ethnic conflict between the Mousgoums and Arab Choas in the Far North region of Cameroon.

Part two has two chapters devoted to literature and social media, and online criminality and sex tape scandals are explored by the scholars. The researchers in this volume have reported the quandaries with evidence from a plethora of social media platforms in African, European and American contexts. They look at how some of the calamities are relayed through social media and how society respond to them. They show that social media have changed the landscape of crises management considerable over recent years with possibilities for social action now becoming reality. But there is a compelling and powerful way to drive stability in society amidst social media presence. This book is a page turner as it proposes innovative language and literature solutions in overcoming crises that are worth discovering.
