The ways in which we gather information about current events and communicate it with
others have been transformed by the rapid rise of digital and social media platforms.
The political is no longer confined to the institutional and electoral arenas, and
that has profound implications for how we understand citizenship and political participation.
With From Voice to Influence, Danielle Allen and Jennifer S. Light have brought together
a stellar group of political and social theorists, social scientists, and media analysts
to explore this transformation. Threading through the contributions is the notion
of egalitarian participatory democracy, and among the topics discussed are immigration
rights activism, the participatory potential of hip hop culture, and the porous boundary
between public and private space on social media. The opportunities presented for
political efficacy through digital media to people who otherwise might not be easily
heard also raise a host of questions about how to define "good participation": Does
the ease with which one can now participate in online petitions or conversations about
current events seduce some away from serious civic activities into "slacktivism?"
Drawing on a diverse body of theory, from Hannah Arendt to Anthony Appiah, From Voice
to Influence offers a range of distinctive visions for a political ethics to guide
citizens in a digitally connected world. -- from back cover
