Description
How do Palestinians use online platforms to counter colonial narratives and negative stereotypes about their struggle for self-determination? This book examines digital content across interactive platforms such as Facebook, X, and TikTok since 2020. It spotlights the contributions of Palestinian social media activists within Palestine and the diaspora alongside solidarity movements and activists in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the US, and Europe. Employing a comprehensive review of digital content - particularly focusing on the posts and interactions of social media activists - the book uncovers how Palestinians and their global allies navigate and utilize digital platforms to counteract competing narratives, especially negative stereotypes propagated by traditional media outlets. The book highlights the challenges presented by the digital era - such as artificial intelligence (AI) and algorithmic mediation - as well as the opportunities digital content presents Palestinians for decolonization, cultural resistance and representation.
