{"product_id":"digital-technologies-and-activism-in-zahid-shahab-ahmed-9781399550383","title":"Digital Technologies and Activism in Authoritarian Contexts and Beyond","description":"This volume examines the complex and often paradoxical relationship between technologies and activism in authoritarian contexts. While technologies offer activists new tools for empowerment, networking and self-representation, they are equally susceptible to co-optation by political and corporate interests, resulting in heightened surveillance, censorship and threats to democratic processes. Moving beyond a narrow focus on digital tools, the book adopts a broad and inclusive definition of technologies to explore their diverse roles in shaping activism. Contributors investigate both the empowering and constraining effects of technologies across a range of authoritarian regimes, providing in-depth insights into the ways activists navigate and contest restrictive environments in authoritarian contexts and beyond. By bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives, the volume offers a comprehensive analysis of the opportunities and challenges facing activism today, enriching our understanding of the evolving interplay between technology, power and democratic aspirations in different contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zahid Shahab Ahmed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399550381\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399550383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.88d","brand":"Zahid Shahab Ahmed","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48446934745343,"sku":"9781399550383","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_359b8803-5ba0-4bfd-a4a8-c8797d027d8c.jpg?v=1777227707","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/digital-technologies-and-activism-in-zahid-shahab-ahmed-9781399550383","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
