This book brings into focus the relationship between Internet development, youth activism, cyber resistance, and political participation. Taking Tunisia as a case study, it examines the digital culture of contention that developed in an authoritarian context, providing a unique perspective on how networked Arab publics negotiate agency, reconfigure political action, and reimagine citizenship.
