Hacking for social justice

Kate Milberry

pp. 109-130

Of particular interest have been the ways in which activists have used the Internet as a communication medium. Cyberactivism–political activism on the Internet - is a new mode of radical action, and novel practices such as virtual sit-ins, online petitions and email campaigns have enlarged the repertoire of contestation (McCaughey & Ayers 2003).
