"Stefania Milan's study of emancipatory media activism represents a distillation
of her considerable research into its many forms over a number of years and in a
number of countries, inflected by her own experience as an information activist.
She gives full weight to the critical gender dimension of the subject, to a
spectrum of technology uses, and the intersections with vital policy issues.
Hers is a very substantive contribution to debate around social movement media."
- John D.H. Downing, Editor, Sage Encyclopedia of Social Movement Media
"Emancipatory communicative practices are at the basis of
social movement action. Through innovative ideas and rigorous research, this
volume has much to contribute to our understanding of media and political
activism." - Donatella della Porta, co-editor, The Wiley-Blackwell
Encyclopedia of Social and Political Movements
"Stefania Milan's
Social Movements and Their Technologies is acomprehensive work on dissent
networking and a must read for anyone wishing a thorough understanding of the
topic." - Oxblood Ruffin, member of the hacker group, Cult of the Dead
Cow
"Social Movements and Their Technologies provides a rich overview
of the Internet-enabled social movements that are working from the 'outside-in'
to promote Internet openness and rights. Backed up with detailed empirical
research, this book is a must-read for those interested in grassroots and
alternative forms of political participation in the digital age." - Ron Deibert,
Director of the Citizen Lab, University of Toronto, Canada, and author of
Black Code: Inside the Battle for Cyberspace
"Social Movements and Their Technologies is a highly topical
examination of the nature of media justice work in the world today, and Milan
convincingly argues that we should take seriously that the media activism she
discusses can legitimately be studied as a social movement in its own right." -

Social Movements and their Technologies
explores the interplay between social movements and their 'liberated
technologies'. It analyzes the rise of low-power radio stations and radical
internet projects ('emancipatory communication practices') as a political
subject, focusing on the sociological and cultural processes at play. It
provides an overview of the relationship between social movements and
technology, and investigates what is behind the communication infrastructure
that made possible the main protest events of the past fifteen years. In doing
so, Stefania Milan illustrates how contemporary social movements organize in
order to create autonomous alternatives to communication systems and networks,
and how they contribute to change the way people communicate in daily life, as
well as try to change communication policy from the grassroots. She situates
these efforts in a historical context in order to show the origins of
contemporary communication activism, and its linkages to media reform campaigns
and policy advocacy.
