Description
The 2009 Iranian Presidential election protests were a pivotal moment in modern history. As the Green Revolution spread across Iran's streets, a new form of international activism emerged online. #iranelection explores this phenomenon, examining how social media platforms facilitated global solidarity and transformed the way people connect. In this book, Negar Mottahedeh investigates the intersection of social media and protest movements, shedding light on the early days of hashtag activism and its impact on online discourse. By tracing the evolution of social media platforms in response to global activism, #iranelection offers a unique perspective on the role of technology in shaping modern politics. Through a provocative and insightful analysis, Mottahedeh reveals the ways in which social media has become an integral part of the protest landscape, enabling new forms of mobilization and activism.
