The book examines the highly dynamic communication ecology of
recent contentious politics and its expanding digital footprint.
First, it looks at the attainment of democratic citizenship through
practice as street protests attract substantial numbers of
followers who narrate their involvement or reflect on the claims
and the implications of collective action on social media.
Secondly, it considers the ramifications for contemporary democracy
arising from the large-scale uptake of social media by variegated
protest networks, which no longer pivot on the coordination
capacity of bureaucratic movement organizations. The book ties
these aspects together to propose that contentious politics can be
a fertile ground for progressive civic participation.
