This volume represents a timely and essential contribution for both
scholars and readers of the Coronavirus Pandemic. Whereas the bulk
of literary, academic, and investigative coverage of the Pandemic
has focussed on factors such as i) maintaining social cohesion, ii)
developing a vaccine, iii) fighting fake news, this submission
explores the erosion of civil liberties and human rights during the
pandemic, the increase of policing and supervisory practices, and
the innovative ways in which contemporary social movements have
expressed their concerns at the measures governments have put in
place. The volume challenges restrictions placed on freedom of
speech, in which contrary opinions to mainstream public discourse
have been branded as fake news, disinformation, or conspiratorial.
It questions the legitimacy of authoritative voices such as the BBC
with regards to the regurgitation of political dogma and the
profound lack of investigative reportage therein. The volume
examines how new or conventional social movements have responded to
the pandemic and how fundamental human and civil rights such as
those campaigned for by Black Lives Matter has united people from
different backgrounds.
