Alternative & Activist New Media

George McKay, professor of cultural studies, University of Salford, is reading Leah A. Lievrouw’sAlternative and Activist New Media (Polity, 2011). “Despite inevitably being instantly out of date on publication – no WikiLeaks, no social media in the Arab Spring – I find this book to be quite the best on the subject. My final-year alternative media students like it for its theoretical clarity and spot-on balance of accessibility and difficulty – and so do I. A great textbook. I wish I’d written it!”
