Advocacy, Activism, and the Internet: Community Organization and Social Policy

This groundbreaking book illustrates how the internet and other electronic resources are currently affecting social work practice. The authors show how technology affects social work practice directly through new methods and indirectly by affecting the communities that practitioners serve. It provides channels for e-advocacy as well as a thorough exploration of the major theoretical, practice, and research perspectives that inform electronic activism. This book solidly integrates new on-line advocacy skills with traditional methods and unites research on internet communities with macro social work theory.
