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. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Youth|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85149310 |zMozambique|zInhambane|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n2006007855-781|xSocial life and customs.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2001008851 650 0 Cell phones|xSocial aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2009118612|zMozambique|zInhambane. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2006007855-781 650 0 Cell phone etiquette|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2002005740|zMozambique|zInhambane.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2006007855-781 650 0 Courtship|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85033596|zMozambique|zInhambane.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n2006007855-781 650 0 Communication and technology|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh94003061|zMozambique.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n81082759-781 650 7 Youth.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1183341 650 7 Manners and customs.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1007815 650 7 Cell phones|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1766754 650 7 Cell phone etiquette.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1735602 650 7 Courtship.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/881873 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE|xDiscrimination & Race Relations.|2bisacsh 650 7 Communication and technology.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/870044 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE|xMinority Studies.|2bisacsh 650 7 Youth|xSocial life and customs.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1183539 650 7 Youth.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0001520 651 0 Inhambane (Mozambique)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n2006007855|xSocial life and customs.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2001008851 651 7 Mozambique|zInhambane.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /1865517 651 7 Mozambique.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1214418 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aArchambault, Julie Soleil.|tMobile secrets.|dChicago : The University of Chicago Press, 2017 |z9780226447438|w(DLC) 2016044856|w(OCoLC)956957039 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1463669|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
