Bücher von Victoria Carty

Victoria Carty uses theories of immigration, social movements, and critical race theory to study the recent immigration crises on both sides of the Atlantic. Carty shows that the high volume of immigration in both the European Union and the United States has led to a resurgence of nativist sentiments and white supremacy groups.

With examples ranging from the Arab Spring to the Tea Party, this innovative book shows how Internet technologies have changed the way social movements operate and the way sociologists are now looking at social movement theory.

Highlights how online networking offers potential for fresh forms of activist mobilizing, repertoires, participatory democracy, direct action, fundraising, and civic engagement.
