Rezensionen

Finally, a book that demonstrates the importance of deep-seated social change for the emergence of digital activism. Rather than asking for the power of platforms, the author demonstrates the role of long-term socio-economic upward mobility for political activism in Indonesia. The book is an essential reading for everyone interested in digital activism and civic engagement beyond platform power.
