| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article presents selections from ongoing qualitative research dealing with the influence of the Internet on the diffusion and promulgation of different iterations of Judaism (not all of them normative) among individuals and communities, mostly from the Beti-Fang demographic, in Cameroon and Gabon. It assesses the influence of specific Internet-derived content on the personal and communal lives of the participants by way of integrative and qualitative discourse analysis methods. Throughout this study the aim is to enumerate the ways in which globalized media technology has been instrumental in propagating a specifically Jewish mode of ethno-religious identity. |
