Social Movements, Cultural Memory and Digital Media Reviews

Social Movements, Cultural Memory and Digital Media provides an important foundation for future interdisciplinary research of memory and media in movement. It will be of great value to experienced and junior scholars. Despite its sometimes heavy use of jargon, it may even inform students and activists. (Yifat Gutman, Mobilization, December, 2020)
