Representing Resistance: Media, Civil Disobedience, and the Global Justice Movement

by Andrew Opel (Editor), Donnalyn Pompper (Editor)

Overview

From the food we eat, to the clothes we wear, to the values that shape our realities, Globalization has affected nearly every aspect of modern life on this planet. Contributors to this book suggest that globalization is supplanting Cold War ideology and they critique mainstream news media coverage of civil disobedience. They further explore the new activism of social movement groups who use performance and media to appeal directly to the people in promoting their causes, fundraising, and recruitment.
