How do Facebook and other popular social media platforms shape the conversation around current political issues? The ways in which we gather information about current events and communicate it with others have been transformed by the rapid rise of digital media. The political is no longer confined to the institutional and electoral arenas, and that has profound implications for how we understand citizenship and political participation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With \u003ci\u003eFrom Voice to Influence, \u003c\/i\u003e Danielle Allen and Jennifer S. Light have brought together a stellar group of political and social theorists, social scientists, and media analysts to explore this transformation. Threading through the contributions is the notion of egalitarian participatory democracy, and among the topics discussed are immigration rights activism, the participatory potential of hip hop culture, and the porous boundary between public and private space on social media. The opportunities presented for political efficacy through digital media to people who otherwise might not be easily heard also raise a host of questions about how to define \"good participation: \" Does the ease with which one can now participate in online petitions or conversations about current events seduce some away from serious civic activities into \"slacktivism?\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on a diverse body of theory, from Hannah Arendt to Anthony Appiah, \u003ci\u003eFrom Voice to Influence\u003c\/i\u003e offers a range of distinctive visions for a political ethics to guide citizens in a digitally connected world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Danielle Allen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022626226X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226262260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/19\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2016","brand":"Danielle Allen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946337927423,"sku":"9780226262260","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4e4fabdf-c8f7-411c-acc3-48d887d427ac.jpg?v=1681512590","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-voice-to-influence-danielle-allen-9780226262260","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
