Networks of Outrage and Hope is an exploration of the new forms of
social movements and protests that are erupting in the world today,
from the Arab uprisings to the indignadas movement in Spain, from
the Occupy Wall Street movement to the social protests in Turkey,
Brazil and elsewhere. While these and similar social movements
differ in many important ways, there is one thing they share in
common: they are all interwoven inextricably with the creation of
autonomous communication networks supported by the Internet and
wireless communication. In this new edition of his timely and
important book, Manuel Castells examines the social, cultural and
political roots of these new social movements, studies their
innovative forms of self-organization, assesses the precise role of
technology in the dynamics of the movements, suggests the reasons
for the support they have found in large segments of society, and
probes their capacity to induce political change by influencing
people s minds. Two new chapters bring the analysis up-to-date and
draw out the implications of these social movements and protests
for understanding the new forms of social change and political
democracy in the global network society.
