From Sit-Ins to #revolutions examines the evolution and growth of
digital activism, while at once outlining how scholars theorize and
conceptualize the field through new methodologies. As it closely
examines the role that social and digital media play in enabling
protests, this volume probes the interplay between historical and
contemporary protests, emancipation and empowerment, and online and
offline protest activities. Drawn from academic and activist
communities, the contributors look beyond often-studied mass action
events in the USA, UK, and Australia to also incorporate
perspectives from overlooked regions such as Aboriginal Australia,
Thailand, Mexico, India, Jamaica and Black America. From
illustrating the allure of political action to a closer look at how
digital activists use new technologies to push toward reform, From
Sit-Ins to #revolutions promises to shed new light on key questions
within activism, from campaign organization and leadership to
messaging and direct action.
