[Air-L] New Book: Disability Rights Advocacy Online: Voice, Empowerment and Global Connectivity

[Filippo Trevisan]

Hi all,

I thought some of you may be interested in my new book, which was just released by Routledge:

Disability Rights Advocacy Online: Voice, Empowerment and Global Connectivity <https://www.routledge.com/Disability-Rights-Advocacy-Online-Voice-Empowerment-and-Global-Connectivity/Trevisan/p/book/9781138847828>

About the book:
In just a few short years, Internet-based media have revolutionized disability rights advocacy. At a time of crisis, online media fostered a renewed sense of unity in the disability community, starting a process that is continuing today as advocates try to organize the disability vote in the 2016 U.S. election. In the UK, new digitally native organizations have emerged, which challenge traditional ways of thinking about disability advocacy. Young disabled bloggers have become the new faces of the disability movement. In this book, Filippo Trevisan reviews the changes, challenges, and opportunities that led to these transformations, discussing their significance for the disability community and other progressive movements that seek to spark social change.

All best,
