Reviewed by Luke Heemsbergen Polity Press, 2011, 294 pp., 9780745641843, 29.95 (paperback) Lievrouw’s addition to Polity’s Digital Media and Society series offers a well read and written introduction to the socio-political histories, purposes and forms of Alternative and Activist New Media (AANM). It also reiterates the author’s theoretical explanation of mediation while categorising emerging ‘genres’ of new activist/alternative media by their purposes and means. It is this latter genre study that somewhat complicates the means and purposes of the aggregate work.
