ICT, as a technological innovation and a major factor in globalization, poses particular problems of ownership and identity with regard to the African continent. What is the place of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) in Africa, and what is the place of Africa in a world increasingly dominated by ICT? This chapter seeks to explode the apparent contradiction between Africa and ICT. In the first part the author confronts African thinkers like Mazrui and Gyekye who have argued the incompatibility of African culture and ICT. Having advanced an argument to the effect that ICT is just as much and as little owned by Africans as by any other collectivity in the contemporary world, the second part of the chapter sets out, with a more empirical argument, some of the ways in which the African appropriation of ICT is actually taking shape.
