Böcker av Victoria Carty

Victoria Carty uses theories of immigration, social movements, and critical race theory to study the recent immigration crises on both sides of the Atlantic. Carty shows that the high volume of immigration in both the European Union and the United States has led to a resurgence of nativist sentiments and white supremacy groups.

The emergence of new communication technologies (such as the Internet and social media networking sites and platforms) has strongly affected social movement activism. In this compelling and timely book, Victoria Carty examines these movements and their uses of digital technologies within the context of social movement theory and history.

With examples ranging from the Arab Spring to the Tea Party, this innovative book shows how Internet technologies have changed the way social movements operate and the way sociologists are now looking at social movement theory.
