Online philanthropy in the global north and south: connecting, microfinancing, and gaming for change

'Online Philanthropy in the Global North and South' offers a critical examination how online philanthropy operates through digital connectivity, affective networks of well-meaning digital givers, and the commodification of poverty through what is conceptualised as the 'digital subaltern.' Chapters examine a range of online philanthropy settings such as online microfinance platforms and games for change, with case studies revealing unseen problems in how digital inclusion and financialisation are attempted through the joint forces of NGOisation and ITisation.
