Ebook: New Media and Revolution: Resistance and Dissent in Pre-uprising Syria

From online dissent to street protest: exploring the seeds of Syria's revolution through the development of new media and information technologies.

Investigating the root causes of the Syrian uprising of 2011, this book shows how acts of online resistance prepared the ground for better-organised street mobilisation. It interprets the uprising not as the start of Syria's social mobilisation but as a shift from hidden practices of digital dissent to tangible mass protests.
