Essays written by media activists examining the efforts of communities and social movements to appropriate media technologies.
Abstract: A collection of essays written by media activists examining the efforts of communities and social movements to appropriate media technologies. It is based on the premise that autonomous media are the vehicles of social movements: attempts to subvert the social order by reclaiming the means of communication. These media attempt to amplify the voices of people and groups normally without access to the media. They seek to work autonomously from dominant institutions like corporations and the state. The content of autonomous media is intended to provide information that supports social struggles.
