Publisher Synopsis
"Tufekci believes that digital-age protests are not simply faster, more responsive versions of their mid-century parents. They are fundamentally distinct."-Nathan Heller, New Yorker"This comprehensive, thought-provoking work makes a valuable contribution to understanding recent political developments and provides a clear path by which grassroots organizers can improve future efforts."-Publishers Weekly"Twitter and Tear Gas is packed with evidence on how social media has changed social movements, based on rigorous research and placed in historical context."-Hannah Kuchler, Financial Times"Tufecki has written an important book that offers a granular assessment of contemporary digital protest. . . Altogether, Tufecki offers a textured chronicle of the dynamics of several movements and the hopes of activists."-Silvio Waisbord, Social Forces"A striking and original conclusion: today's low barrier for organizing a movement can also lead to its long-term frustrations. Tufekci's superb book will define the debate on social protest for years to come."-Dani Rodrik, author of Economic Rules: The Rights and Wrongs of the Dismal Science"Tufekci is undoubtedly the most qualified person in the world to explain the meaning of political collective actions catalyzed and coordinated by social media. She knows the technology, the social science, and the politics-and she is the rare academic observer who was at the scene, from Istanbul to Cairo to New York."-Howard Rheingold, author of Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution"Incisive and illuminating, Tufekci's book arrives at the perfect moment, right when we desperately need our activism to become smarter and more effective than ever before, or else."- Astra Taylor, author of The People's Platform: Taking Back Power and Culture in the Digital Age and co-founder of the Debt Collective"Many have asked why people rebel, but few describe how. Here, Tufekci uses firsthand observation to offer an intelligent and informed examination of the tools and nature of today's political protests."-Vali Nasr, author of The Dispensable Nation and The Shia Revival"For all the claims that new technologies afford grassroots movements new power, research on the topic is rare. Tufekci's book provides just that-and a cautionary conclusion."-Doug McAdam, author of Deeply Divided: Racial Politics and Social Movements in Postwar America Read more...
