About the book:
In just a few short years, Internet-based media have revolutionized 
disability rights advocacy. At a time of crisis, online media fostered a 
renewed sense of unity in the disability community, starting a process 
that is continuing today as advocates are trying to organize the 
disability vote in recent elections including the 2016 U.S. presidential 
election and 2017 UK general election. In the UK, new digitally native 
organizations have emerged, which challenge traditional ways of thinking 
about disability advocacy. Young disabled bloggers have become the new 
faces of the disability movement. In this book, Filippo Trevisan reviews 
the changes, challenges, and opportunities that led to these 
transformations, discussing their significance for the disability 
community and other progressive movements that seek to spark social change.
