Overview
Contributors in communication studies explore encounters between marginalized people and states within the context of the process of social transformation arising from conflict. They describe how groups of political dissidents, or "counterpublics," challenge the state and gain public attention through demonstrations, social movements, guerilla warfare, and Internet activities, with case studies on the Black press, prison writing, right-to-die advocates on the Internet, and the use of communication technology by NGOs and the UN. Asen teaches communication arts at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Brouwer teaches human communication at Arizona State University.Annotation © Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
