Description:
Indigenous Peoples Rise Up: The Global Ascendency of Social Media Activism illustrates the impact of social media in expanding the nature of Indigenous communities and social movements. Social media has bridged distance, time, and nation states to mobilize Indigenous peoples to build coalitions across the globe and to stand in solidarity with one another. Including examples like Idle No More in Canada, Australian Recognise!, and social media campaigns to maintain Maori language, Indigenous Peoples Rise Up serves as one of the first studies of Indigenous social media use and activism.
Review Quotes: "Carlson and Berglund give an informative and thought-provoking perspective on Indigenous activists' engagement with social media, providing new and fascinating insights." --Laurel Dyson "co-author of Indigenous People and Mobile Technologies"
