Reviews

Davidson takes some of the largest, knottiest issues in contemporary culture-politics, social media, and social activism-teases them apart expertly, and ties them gracefully back together. The community of activists Davidson studies is fascinating both in its ordinariness and its distinctiveness, and her impulse to read their connection as inherently, intimately-but also cruelly-optimistic is powerful. The deftness of Davidson's analysis and the dexterity of her writing humanize the Blue Wave Resisters without succumbing to either uncritical praise on the one hand or contemptuous blame on the other. -- Ryan Skinnell, San Jose State University
