How is the Internet transforming the relationships between citizens and states? The author combines media studies, ethnography, and African studies to explore this new political paradigm through an analysis of how Eritreans in diaspora have used the Internet to shape the course of Eritrean history.

Trade Review
"Bernal insightfully delves into the role the new media-especially the Internet-has been playing in the precipitation of transformations of the meanings of nation, citizenship, and sovereignty in an age of transnational migration and globalization. Unlike most other studies that conceive of the Internet as a technological product, she conceptualizes the Internet as a cultural one, and, more important, she underscores the transformative power with which it facilitates social change." (Gaim Kibreab, London South Bank University)"
