"The beginning of the 21st century brought forth a number of social media platforms
that have allowed activists to increase their audience exponentially and with relative
ease. Under hashtags such as #BlackLivesMatter, #MeToo to the Arab Spring and the
Occupy movements, digital social activision mobilized people and movements like almost
never before. In #HashtagActivism: Networked Counterpublics in the Digital Age the
authors examine how and why Twitter hashtags have become an important platform for
historically disenfranchised populations to advance counter narratives and advocate
for social change. We contend that members of these marginalized groups, in the tradition
of counterpublics, are using Twitter hashtags to build diverse networks of dissent
and shape the cultural and political knowledge fundamental to contemporary identity-based
social movements. Given shifting understandings and ongoing conversations about the
role of social media in 21st century democracy, and considering recent high-profile
public debates about racial violence, feminist inclusivity, and sexual identity, #Hashtag
Activism will provide readers with a model of how to study political identity and
meaning-making processes within digital spaces while highlighting compelling cases
of counterpublic activism and dissent"
