Indigenous Peoples Rise Up: The Global Ascendency of Social Media Activism

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:

"The novelty and relevance of this book is beyond doubt, since it was the first to analyze social networks, their content, tweets and memes, using a large amount of materials in several languages, which have not yet been subjected to such a voluminous and systematic analysis within one book."
