Mobilising for Immigrant Rights Online: Performing American? National Identity through Symbols of Civic-Economic Participation

Original language description

Increasingly, social movement organisations (SMOs) within the immigrant rights movement mobilise online. Although this seems an unlikely tactic for a movement whose constituents are often on the wrong side of the digital divide, the increasingly frequentuse of various communications technologies works to enable communication with other activists and raise awareness among the general public. Utilising a cultural sociological perspective, this article examines the ways in which the immigrant rights movement uses various symbols to perform national identity online. The goal is to put meaning and the process of meaning making squarely at the centre of analytical attention. Building on the multiple traditions perspective on American national identity, thearticle explores how several national-level SMOs engage symbols to perform immigrants? belonging to the USA.
