Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Pietro Masturzo; Kamran Ashtary (illustrator). 1st Edition. Oversized paperback, 132 pages, copiously illustrated, NOT ex-library. Limited edition of 1000 copies. Book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Minor handling wear only. Straight spine. -- Hope, Votes & Bullets is a curated collection of blog posts, tweets, eyewitness accounts, and digital reportage drawn in part from content associated with the Global Voices network and similar citizen media sources, documenting the impact of the 2009 Iranian presidential election and its aftermath. The text preserves the real-time reactions of Iranians during the Green Revolution, showing the shift from the hopeful 'where is my vote' campaign to the state-led violence following the 2009 election. It provides a unique archival record of how social media and the blogosphere narratives bypassed state censorship to inform the international community, particularly during the communications blackout. The contributors describe the specific atmosphere of the Tehran protests, the significance of the mourning for Neda Agha-Soltan, and the transition of the movement from the streets to a digital resistance. By assembling these ephemeral online posts into a permanent print volume, the editors, including Global Voices Iran editor Fred Petrossian, provide a primary source history of the first major 'Twitter Revolution' and the specific tactics used by both protesters and the Iranian authorities to control the national narrative.
