Recensioner i media

"This collection serves as an excellent resource for understanding the communicative phenomenon of online vitriol, and teachers could assign chapters out of order. Each article explores a different side of the concepts to offer a compelling theorization of combative and violent online discursive engagement."- Myles W. Mason, International Journal of Communication 15 (2021)
