Jen Schradie’s "The Revolution That Wasn’t" in LA Review of Books
BCNM alum Jen Schradie's latest book, "The Revolution That Wasn’t", receives an excellent review from Emily Drabinski in the Los Angeles Review of Books.
From the review:
Schradie demonstrates something that we all know but seem to forget — that “the digital” is built on some quite analog elements in order to produce and distribute power: class, infrastructure, and ideology. She reminds us that these factors, which have shaped social and political life across time, are not exceptional to the internet age. Instead, they intertwine and interact on the internet in ways that amplify the organized right while muting the effectiveness of a progressive or even revolutionary left. When it comes to digital activism, the left faces barriers that the right simply doesn’t.
