The contributors show how online activists have not only incorporated recent technology as a tool for change, but also how they have changed the meaning of activism, what community means, and how they conceive of collective identity and democratic change. Topics addressed range from the Zapatista movement's use of the web to promote their cause globally to the establishment of alternative media sources like indymedia.org to the direct action of \"hacktivists\" who disrupt commercial computer networks. \u003cem\u003eCyberactivism \u003c\/em\u003eis essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the impact of the Internet on politics today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMartha McCaughey\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor and Director of Women's Studies in the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies at Virginia Tech. \u003cstrong\u003eMike Ayers\u003c\/strong\u003e is a doctorial student in Sociology at the New School for Social Research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.81 x 8.96 x 6.05 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 21, 2003\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52494409335091,"sku":"9780415943208","price":97.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/J6nAZ-GELS9780415943208.webp?v=1759982009","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/cyberactivism-online-activism-in-theory-and-practice-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
