The Internet and the construction of the immigrant public sphere: The case of the Cameroonian diaspora. - 144 p.

Adviser: Carolyn M. Byerly.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Howard University, 2006.

The Internet has become the powerful medium for Africans in the Diaspora to meet for cross border dialogue. Cameroonians all over the world are using this tool for what the present study considers to be a public sphere discourse. Cameroonians living in the United States and other nations use the Internet to discuss and debate the political, social, economic and cultural aspects of the nationhood of Cameroon with the aim of seeking solutions to some of those pressing needs that confront the country.

520 $a The Internet has become the powerful medium for Africans in the Diaspora to meet for cross border dialogue. Cameroonians all over the world are using this tool for what the present study considers to be a public sphere discourse. Cameroonians living in the United States and other nations use the Internet to discuss and debate the political, social, economic and cultural aspects of the nationhood of Cameroon with the aim of seeking solutions to some of those pressing needs that confront the country.
520 $a This study builds on Habermas and other leading feminist authors' conceptualization of the democratic public sphere, which is central to Habermas' theory of communicative action. This study's theoretical framework also incorporates elements of African experience in order to examine the dominant, oppositional and parallel themes that arise from four Cameroonian websites just before the national presidential election in 2004. The methodology adapts Jager's critical discourse analytical (CDA) framework. It was deemed an appropriate methodology because it sought not only to analyze the linguistic component of the discourse in the four websites but more importantly to examine the holistic structure of the discourse, that is its history and context.
520 $a This study concludes that there was gender disparity in the dialogue between Cameroonian men and women. Cameroonian men were more dominant in the discourse on the dominant themes involving the Cameroonian presidential election of 2004 than the women. The all female website was more focused on the infrastructural development of Cameroon. Lastly, these findings suggest that future studies should focus on the ways that the Internet is utilized by Cameroonians and other Diasporic populations to create alternative discursive spaces for political and social purposes.
