On 16.09.2026, Henna Zamurd Butt and DCN member M.I. Franklin’ newest book, Internet Decolonized, was published with Oxford University Press. The book gathers a collection of practitioner and scholarly perspectives from across the spectrum of decolonial, postcolonial and Indigenous issue-areas on internet agenda-setting from beyond the mainstream spaces in which internet governance is operationalized and studied.
Examining diverse approaches to what it means to “decolonize the internet,” the book presents real-world cases to bring into focus the vested interests of past, present, and future hi-tech projects, grassroots and community-based alternatives, experiences in human-centered advocacy for internet futures and governance models. Contributors offer insights into longstanding and emerging controversies and research priorities as actors and voices active in shaping the next generation of sustainable and rights-respecting internet policymaking and design.
