Digital Contention in a Divided Society: Social Media, Parades and Protests in Northern Ireland (Hardcover)
Representing the first in-depth qualitative study of how social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are used to mediate contentious public parades and protests in Northern Ireland, this book explores the implications of mis-and dis-information spread via online platforms for peacebuilding in societies transitioning out of conflict.
