a compelling study, and a powerful argument

Florian Schneider, China Quarterly

In this excellent book, Jun Liu advocates a communication-centered perspective that highlights how communication in various forms, be it face-to-face, mass communication, or networked communication, may permeate diferent phases of contention and shape the dynamics of contentious politics. With impressive frst-hand feldwork and interview data collected in a period of over 10 years (roughly 20032013), Liu fleshes out his point by systematically examining the infuence of communication,especially mobile communication, on political contention as it unfolds.... The book is an important work with solidempirical findings and theoretical contributions. Scholars interested in communication studies, contentious politics, and China studies will find it particularly useful.

Rongbin Han, Journal of Chinese Political Science

With cases of collective contentions in China, [Liu] explores how communication practices shape political opportunities, mobilise structure, and frame processes that structure collective contentions.

Jun Zhang, Journal of Contemporary Asia

Jun Liu takes an original approach in this strong contribution to understanding the role of communication in contemporary Chinese politics. Rich empirical discussions bring together different strands of scholarship to elucidate the bigger picture and create a framework that has previously been left mostly implicit.

Elisa Oreglia, King's College London

Over the past decades, waves of political contention involving the use of information and communication technologies have swept across the globe. The phenomenon stimulates the scholarship on digital communication technologies and contentious collective action to thrive as an exciting, relevant, but highly fragmentary and contested field with disciplinary boundaries. To advance interdisciplinary understanding, Shifting Dynamics of Contention in the Digital Age outlines a communication-centered framework that articulates the intricate relationship between technology, communication, and contention. It systematically explores the influence of mobile technology on political contention in China, the country with the world's largest number of mobile and internet users. Using first-hand in-depth interview and fieldwork data, Shifting Dynamics of Contention in the Digital Age tracks the strategic choice of mobile phones as repertoires of contention, illustrates the effective mobilization of mobile communication on the basis of its strong and reciprocal social ties, and identifies the communicative practice of forwarding officially alleged "rumors" as a form of everyday resistance. Through this groundbreaking study, Shifting Dynamics of Contention in the Digital Age presents a nuanced portrayal of an emerging dynamics of contention--both its strengths and limitations- through the embedding of mobile communication into Chinese society and politics.
