Recenzii
Dunbar-Treadwell asks readers to choose community in her engaging analysis of online communication. While online spaces have bred division, Dunbar-Treadwell also sees them as sites of connection. She argues that they show hopeful signs that point to the human need to be in community with one another. This text incorporates theories from communication, media, psychology, and sociology to explain how people behave the way they do online, and why there might be hope for community. Dunbar-Treadwell intersperses the book with examples from popular culture and her personal life, and her application of theory is convincing. The chapters move through the historical and theoretical backgrounds of community and communication technology and then into the psychological phenomena that complicate civility on- and offline. Throughout the book examples show how humans can, and do, choose behaviors that build community rather than tear it down. This culminates in a chapter that offers practical advice for how readers, too, can choose community. Recommended. General readers through graduate students.
