Being Digital Citizens is a singular volume. Bringing equal attention to both digital and citizenship studies, Isin and Ruppert offer a thoughtful and nuanced theorization of what it means to be digital citizens. In this highly anticipated second edition, they apply their lucid and convincing arguments to spelling out the continued tensions as well as interdependence between political activism and corporate and political power in cyberspace. This is a book for students and scholars who care about understanding the intricate ins and outs of the way data affect citizens’ everyday acts and how they produce political subjectivity.

Being Digital Citizens provides a timely and much-needed framework for thinking through rights claims on the internet in relation to a collective political subject. The second edition of this seminal work broadens our understanding of political struggles over digital life further by engaging with new contemporary debates and research, delineating crucial pathways for understanding how people make claims for digital rights and data justice, and advancing the case of digital citizens as citizens yet to come. This is a critical and comprehensive contribution to the debate on political subjectivity, rights and justice in a digital age.

No other book addresses the contest over digital citizenship as comprehensively as Being Digital Citizens. The authors set out the theoretical grounding we need right now to understand the digital citizen as political subject within the turbulent contemporary history of the internet.
