A groundbreaking rhetorical framework for the study of
transnational digital activismWhat does it mean when we call a
movement "global"? How can we engage with digital activism without
being "slacktivists"? In Activist Literacies, Jennifer Nish
responds to these questions and a larger problem in contemporary
public discourse: many discussions and analyses of digital and
transnational activism rely on inaccurate language and inadequate
frameworks. Drawing on transnational feminist theory and rhetorical
analysis, Nish formulates a robust set of tools for nuanced
engagement with activist rhetorics. Nish applies her literacies of
positionality, orientation, and circulation to case studies that
highlight grassroots activism, well-resourced nonprofits, and a
decentralized social media challenge; in so doing, she illustrates
the complex power dynamics at work in each scenario and
demonstrates how activist literacies can be used to understand and
engage with efforts to contribute to social change. Written in an
accessible, engaging style, Activist Literacies invites scholars,
students, and activists to read activist rhetoric that engages with
"global" concerns and circulates transnationally via social media.
