The introduction presents the book’s theoretical framework and research questions drawing from the multidisciplinary field of mobile telephony studies. It introduces the key issues of this scholarly debate from a social science and anthropological point of view. The main focus of the chapter is scholarly discussions of mobile telephony in developing countries, but research on mobile phone use in Western countries is also briefly discussed to enable comparisons. This chapter refers to and analyzes a broad range of studies on mobile telephony, including ethnographies of mobile phone use in various locations, studies on mobile telephony’s economic and developmental impacts, and the mobile phone use of teenagers. This chapter also introduces the anthropology of media and discusses the concept of development.

This chapter surveys and analyzes recent literature on mobile communication to examine its relationship to gender and development, more specifically how women in developing countries use and are impacted by mobile phones. Focusing on issues of power, agency, and social status, the chapter reviews how mobile telephony has been found to be implicated in patriarchal bargaining in different societies, how privacy and control are enabled through it, what benefits have been shown to accrue to women using mobile phones, and what barriers, limitations, and disadvantages of mobile use exist for women and why. The conclusion urges more gender-disaggregated analysis of mobile phone impact and use and offers policy and design recommendations based on the overview and discussion.
