[Air-l] Re: welcoming thoughts about activists and 'new media'

[jmorfin at correo.unam.mx]

Linda, 

I can help you with references to this kind of research but with a Latin

Unuversity of Texas at Austin was political activism and Internet at its 
earliest stages of network penetration in the region. There is a good list of 
references you might find interesting. 

Le me know.
