Reviews
“Back in the day, some imagined that networked technologies would automatically promote democratic politics. Now, with the resurgence of right-wing populism, we know that it’s more difficult than that. This book takes the debate much further, offering detailed and compelling insights into the experiences of young activists, and the challenges they face. It offers a vital practical and theoretical resource for those who are rethinking what we mean by active citizenship in a digital world.” — David Buckingham, Emeritus Professor at Loughborough University, and Visiting Professor at King’s College London, UK
