This book explores how social media and its networked communities
dismantles, builds, and shapes identity. Social media has been
instrumental, sometimes dangerously so, in binding together
different communities; with thirteen original chapters by leading
academics in the field, the volume investigates how belonging,
togetherness, and loyalty is created in the digital sphere, in a
way that transcends, and even dismantles, ethnic and national
borders around the world. In tandem, the volume analyses the
further threats to identity presented by the ease with which
fabricated news and information spreads on social media, resulting
in many users becoming unable to distinguish credible data from
junk data. Social media is both creative and destructive in its
influence on identity, and therefore the growing fake news crisis
threatens the very stability of the world's communities. This book
provides relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical
research findings in the area, including diverse case studies and
analyses of social media experiences in indigenous and urban
communities around the world, including China, Africa, and Central
and South America.
