    [synopsis] => This anthology examines how activists have used media technology to effect social and political change from the 1940s to today.

In the 1940s, it was 16 mm film. In the 1980s, it was handheld video cameras. Today, it is cell phones and social media. Activists have always found ways to use the media du jour for quick and widespread distribution. InsUrgent Media from the Front looks at activist media practices in the twenty-first century and sheds light on what it means to enact change using different media of the past and present.

The term "insUrgent media" highlights the ways grassroots media activists challenge hegemonic norms like colonialism, patriarchy, imperialism, classism, and heteronormativity-while also conveying the urgency of this work. With chapters focused on indigenous resistance, community media, and the use of media as activism throughout US history, this anthology emphasizes the wide reach media activism has had over time.
