In Social Media, Social Justice, and the Political Economy of Online Networks, Jeffrey Layne Blevins and James Jaehoon Lee combine critical political economic theory and network analysis to create a groundbreaking book that explores the role of social media activity, specifically on Twitter, in social justice and political campaigns. An open access companion site, accessible through the QR codes within the book, provides readers with the opportunity to interact with hundreds of thousands of hashtags and tweets from pivotal events such as the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections, the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, and the protests following the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. From intended use of social media by social justice advocates, to commercial interests and political forces' use of bots, troll farms, and clever memes in shaping public discourse, Blevins and Lee's work examines social justice and political activities on Twitter in the age of fake news and post-truth. Social Media, Social Justice, and the Political Economy of Online Networks provides new insight into social media and legacy news and reflects on how such platforms can both support and deter social justice movements.
