Play Station Video Games amongst Ethiopian Children

Digital Playing: An Investigation into Popularity of
Play Station Video Games amongst Ethiopian Children
in Addis Ababa provides for the first time an
ethnographic understanding of how kids in Addis Ababa
interact with Play Station Video Games. The book
attempts to explore how the specified children in
Addis Ababa, in the midst of their everyday lived
reality, make meaning out of the Play Station Games
contents and its technology that are produced in
another setting.
The book is comprehensive in its approach. It uses
the most significant theory called media convergence
theory to explain the digital media culture of Addis
Ababa. The monograph collectively employs qualitative
research methodology to demonstrate that Play Station
video games have a significant role to play in the
Convergence and Hybridization of cultures between the
global and the local in the context of Ethiopia.
It could also serve as indispensable scholarly
reference for digital media culture. It will
circumvent the heightened shortage of reference
material in the area in general in the context of
Sub-Saharan African country, Ethiopia in particular.
