Dear Colleagues, I am excited to share with you the publication of my new book: Disability Rights Advocacy Online: Voice, Empowerment and Global Connectivity <https://www.routledge.com/Disability-Rights-Advocacy-Online-Voice-Empowerment-and-Global-Connectivity/Trevisan/p/book/9781138847828> About the book: Over the last few years, Internet-based media have fostered significant changes in disability rights advocacy. At a time of crisis, online media promoted a renewed sense of unity in the disability community, starting a process that is continuing today as advocates use the Internet to try to organize the disability vote in recent elections including the 2016 U.S. presidential election and 2017 UK general election. New digitally native organizations have emerged, which challenge traditional ways of thinking about disability advocacy. Young disabled bloggers and e-activists have become new faces of the disability movement. In this book, Filippo Trevisan reviews the changes, challenges, and opportunities that led to these transformations, and discusses their significance for the disability community and other progressive movements that seek to spark social change.
