{"product_id":"9781526181527","title":"Contesting hate : Digital counter-narratives against Islamophobia - Dr John Richardson","description":"Contesting hate draws on a unique five-year dataset, which includes social media data, interviews with digital activists and mainstream media analysis, generated by the project `#ContestingIslamophobia: Representation and Appropriation in Mediated Activism'. This book provides an in-depth analysis of how social media have been used to contest the circulation of racialised Islamophobia, in relation to a range of events wherein Islamophobic narratives have been yoked to white supremacism, Hindu nationalism and polarising `culture wars' debates. Focusing on archetypal `trigger events' that have resulted in the intensification of Islamophobic discourse - the Christchurch white supremacist terrorist attacks, Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic - we identify key actors and networks involved in these narratives, and foreground successful (and less successful) counter-narrative tactics for contesting hate. In the process, we set out a new theoretical and methodological framework for conceptualising and researching digital discrimination and activism. -- .","brand":"Dr John Richardson","offers":[{"title":"256 pages, 1 textbox, 28 images and 39 tables \/ 01\/09\/2026 \/ Media studies","offer_id":57415395606903,"sku":"9781526181527","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781526181527","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
