Ezema, Ifeanyi Jonas (2010) Globalisation, information revolution and cultural imperialism in Africa. Information, society and justice journal, 3 (1). pp. 11-22. ISSN 1756-1078
Globalisation has brought a lot of changes which are impacting dramatically onthe entire world. Political, cultural and socio-economic integrations are becoming much easier and faster than before. This paper argues that the digital divide existing between developing and developed countries places Africa in disadvantaged position in the globalisation process leading to cultural imperialism. It challenges library and information professionals to try and bridge this digital divide through sustained professional development, national and institutional framework, curriculum redesign and regional and international cooperation.
