Thank you Ernesto and everybody who replied here or contacted me in private!

Yes, I know Nanjala's terrific work! In fact after reading her interesting book "Digital Democracy, Analogue Politics" I invited her to write a piece for the Global Debates but after an initial interest she declined.
In general it was very difficult to find DH scholars who work in Africa (except from South Africa) and who were willing to contribute to the collection. But now that I'm here in Tanzania I hope I can learn more so next time hopefully we would be able to fill that unforgivable gap!

Asante sana

Domenico

Dear Domenico, all,

I discovered the work by Nanjala Nyabola via her keynote at the AoIR 2022. Her bio and link to her site below.

Happy researching!

Dear Domenico,

It would be great if contact details can be shared.  Unfortunately, I
don't have contact details of groups in Kenya, although Prof Tunde
already replied for the group in Nigeria.

In South Africa, there is the South African Centre for Digital Language
Resources (SADiLaR) https://sadilar.org .  We also run a programme
called Escalator: https://escalator.sadilar.org/ and part of that
programme we have a Slack (Slack is like a chat programme) that can be
used.  (I'm sure we can also open that up for other groups in Digital
Humanities who want to use this.)
On https://escalator.sadilar.org/connect/ you can find how to join the
Slack.  Please let me know if you have difficulties joining the Slack.
It would be great if you could introduce yourself when you're there in
the #introductions channel.

By the way, all of you (members of the mailinglist) are welcome on the
Slack.  Don't forget to invite your colleagues as well!

Best regards,

Menno
