The information revolution has ushered in a data-driven reorganization of the workplace. Big data and AI are used to surveil workers and shift risk. Workplace wellness programs appraise our health. Personality job tests calibrate our mental state. The monitoring of social media and surveillance of the workplace measure our social behavior. With rich historical sources and contemporary examples, The Quantified Worker explores how the workforce science of today goes far beyond increasing efficiency and threatens to erase individual personhood. With exhaustive detail, Ifeoma Ajunwa shows how different forms of worker quantification are enabled, facilitated, and driven by technological advances. Timely and eye-opening, The Quantified Worker advocates for changes in the law that will mitigate the ill effects of the modern workplace.
Multi-Sided Music Platforms and the Law explores the legal and regulatory frameworks surrounding copyright protection, competition and privacy concerns arising from the way multi-sided platforms use copyright-protected content in digital advertising. This book suggests how stakeholders in Africa, and their advisors, may ingenuously reform and apply various legal and regulatory frameworks to address these issues which arise from the manner in which multi-sided platforms use copyright-protected content in digital advertising. The book critically engages with the regulatory efforts in other jurisdictions, particularly the EU, with a view to bringing an African perspective to the debate and practice. It undertakes a consideration of this issue by asking how multi-sided platforms may be deployed in a manner that continues innovative uses of copyright content while protecting the economic freedom of African copyright owners as small businesses. Providing the first pro-Africa approach to the regulation of multi-sided platforms, particularly with reference to music, this book focuses on key aspects of digital commercial activity and highlights the main challenges and opportunities for its regulation. It will be of interest to lawyers, policymakers and students across Nigeria, South Africa, and internationally among the African Union, European Union and beyond. .

Oil Cemetery is an eloquent and truth-based novel about suffering in the oil-producing Niger-Delta region of Nigeria. This powerful book shows how Nigerians cope with the environmental pollution that has accompanied the discovery of oil wealth in their community. On the one hand there is obscene wealth enjoyed by the few, while the masses live in poverty and suffer from the environmental degradation of their land. This powerful story tells the quest of those people seeking a solution to the deaths and human suffering, even as it delves into the intrigues and manipulations of the upper class. Rita, a fragile young girl whose father was a victim of the oil company, by a twist of fate is the one leading a subtle revolution that will shock the entire community. Oil Cemetery is aptly titled. Dr. May Ifeoma Nwoye is from Nigeria and studied in the United States. She was a former national vice president of Nigerian Authors (ANA). She has written other novels and a collection of short stories. "My inspiration for OIL CEMETRY came from the monumental noise, the endless tears, and the insensitive treatment of the inhabitants of oil producing areas in Nigeria, where the land that produces the wealth of a nation suffers from abject poverty and deprivation in the face of environmental degradation."
