Now-as evidenced by movements from the Arab Spring to Black Lives Matter-revolutions, protests, and political dissidence are profoundly shaped by information circulating through digital networks. Digital Unsettling is a critical exploration of digitalization that puts contemporary "decolonizing" movements into conversation with theorizations of digital communication. Sahana Udupa and Ethiraj Gabriel Dattatreyan interrogate the forms, forces, and processes that have reinforced neocolonial relations within contemporary digital environments, at a time when digital networks-and the agendas and actions they proffer-have unsettled entrenched hierarchies in unforeseen ways. Digital Unsettling examines events-the toppling of statues in the UK, the proliferation of #BLM activism globally, the rise of Hindu nationalists in North America, the trolling of academics, among others-and how they circulated online and across national boundaries. In doing so, Udupa and Dattatreyan demonstrate how the internet has become the key site for an invigorated anticolonial internationalism, but has simultaneously augmented conditions of racial hierarchy within nations, in the international order, and in the liminal spaces that shape human migration and the lives of those that are on the move. Digital Unsettling establishes a critical framework for placing digitalization within the longue dure?e of coloniality, while also revealing the complex ways in which the internet is entwined with persistent global calls for decolonization. 606 $aDecolonization$2DLC 606 $aDecolonization 606 $aSocial media and society$2DLC 606 $aSocial media and society 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Media Studies$2bisacsh 610 $aFrederick Douglass. 610 $aLydia Maria Child. 610 $aRichard Powers. 610 $aRobin Wall Kimmerer. 610 $aSouth Africa. 610 $aaffective counterpublics. 610 $abotanical culture. 610 $acampus protests. 610 $acash crops. 610 $acollective agency. 610 $acoloniality. 610 $acommunication. 610 $adata. 610 $adecolonization. 610 $adigital. 610 $aemancipated population. 610 $ahorticulture. 610 $amontage methodology. 610 $amontage. 610 $amultispecies cooperation. 610 $anationalist discourse. 610 $aplant geography. 610 $aplant intelligence. 610 $aplant life. 610 $aplantation economy. 610 $aplantation slavery. 610 $ascientific agriculture. 610 $asettler-colonial project. 610 $asocial media. 610 $atransplantation. 610 $auniversity. 610 $aunsettling. 615 0$aDecolonization 615 0$aDecolonization. 615 0$aSocial media and society 615 0$aSocial media and society. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Media Studies. 676 $a302.23/1 686 $aAP 15965$2rvk 700 $aUdupa$b Sahana, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01725317 702 $aDattatreyan$b Ethiraj Gabriel, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996582072003316 996 $aDigital Unsettling$94148451 997 $aUNISA
