      abstract = {In her original book, Arianna Grasso explores the function  and purpose of digital media for people locked up in  Australia's onshore and offshore immigration detention  industry. She meticulously analyses the context, content  and reception of carefully selected online posts. Her  conclusions present this form of writing/activism by people  in indefinite detention as both effective political action  and a valuable epistemic resource. This study is essential  for understanding Australian border violence and the forms  of knowledge created by detainees as they work to expose  and dismantle the border regime that incarcerates them.  -Omid Tofighian, University of New South Wales, Australia  and Birkbeck, University of London, UK This book focuses on  the resistance practices digitally enacted by a group of  refugees in the context of the Australian detention policy.  Drawing on critical-, multimodal- and  ethnographic-discursive analytical research, the author  brings to the fore the digitally mediated lived experiences  of detained refugees as articulated from Australia-run  offshore and onshore detention facilities. The book unveils  how refugees self-representation and counter-discursive  practices on social media aim to dismantle the  dehumanizing, exclusionary, and obliterating anti-refugee  rhetoric that pervades political and media landscapes in  contemporary Australia. It will be of interest to academics  and students in fields including Digital Migration Studies,  Refugee Studies, Digital Media Studies, Corpus Linguistics  and Critical Discourse Studies, including Multimodal  Critical Discourse Studies, and Discourse Ethnography.  Arianna Grasso is a postdoctoral researcher in the  Department of Literary, Linguistics and Comparative Studies  at the University of Naples LOrientale, Italy. Her research  interests include Australian Populism, Refugee and Digital  Media Studies.},
