Cybercriminals (Yahoo Boys) and Society - Hustle Kingdoms, Occult Economies, and the Colonial Politics of Digital Fraud

This book offers a comprehensive sociological account of cyber-enabled fraud in Africa south of the Sahara, centred on Nigeria. Drawing on over a decade of ethnographic research, it examines online fraud not as isolated wrongdoing but as a patterned social response to postcolonial inequality, blocked mobility, and institutional failure.
