Representing Resistance

The authors of "Representing Resistance" aim to take a critical look at mainstream media's coverage of global civil disobedience and an exploration of the role of performance and technology in "new activism."

From the Publisher
From the food we eat, to the clothes we wear, to the values that shape our realities, Globalization has affected nearly every aspect of modern life on this planet. Contributors to this book suggest that globalization is supplanting Cold War ideology and they critique mainstream news media coverage of civil disobedience. They further explore the "new activism" of social movement groups who use performance and media to appeal directly to the people in promoting their causes, fundraising, and recruitment.
