Publisher Synopsis
'A vital question today is how the range of political actors can be expanded. New political movements must take action within an unequal media environment. Alice Mattoni's tightly argued new book on Italy's movement against precarity is one of the most important on alternative media practice to be published in recent years. Its contribution to our understanding of contemporary struggles for visibility is fundamental.'Nick Couldry, Goldsmiths, University of London UK'A fresh look at the complex relationships among activists and media.

Highly recommended for both scholars and activists.'Kathleen Blee, University of Pittsburgh, USA Read more...
