Summary

"This book argues that in addition to seismic shifts in social justice, Black Twitter's activism fueled a representation revolution in television. Sherri Williams explores how Black social TV -- a subset of Black Twitter -- successfully got shows blocked from airing, taken off the air, and even revived as a result of its digital activism"-- Provided by publisher.
