[ecrea] New book: Citizen Journalism as Conceptual Practice

I am happy to announce that my book **Citizen Journalism as Conceptual 
Practice** is out now on Rowman & Littlefield as part of the series 
Frontiers of the Political.

/Citizen Journalism as Conceptual Practice/provides a conceptualization 
of citizen journalism as a political practice developed through analyses 
of an historical and postcolonial case. Arguing that citizen journalism 
is first and foremost situated, embodied and political rather than 
networked and technology-based, the book offers a grounded analysis of 
the colonial newspaper, /The Herald/, published in St. Croix (Virgin 
Islands) 1915-25 by a descendant of enslaved people and independently of 
the colonial ruler, Denmark.

The analysis is informed by Deleuze and Guattari’s approach to knowledge 
production and formulates a critical reading of citizens’ and subjects’ 
mediated political engagements then as well as now. The book discusses 
current approaches to citizen journalism before turning to /The Herald/, 
which is then read against the grain in an attempt to show the embodied 
politics of colonial history and cultural forms of citizen engagement as 
these politics evolve in this particular case of journalism
