[Air-L] topics in e-activism

[Denise N. Rall]

Here's some references that were posted earlier on
this list, many with a SE Asian perspective, but there
would be plenty here to get going with. This
literature review would be particularly helpful
(Garrett) and Jenny Pickerill has done much more
recent work in this area.

It would be kind of you to also share your findings
back to this list for next person . . . .
