It's a book coming out of Yale but it's written for a general audience. I trace (mostly left) movements from Zapatista era to about today.

I tried to avoid simplification but the title is so hard. Networked=imprecise, potentially limiting. Protest=too broad? Connected=vague?

FWIW, I'd avoid using "Twitter" as it's one of many platforms and who knows how well that holds up in the future.

Excited. I voted for "networked." I agree about leaving Twitter off. What about just "The Power and Fragility of Networked Protest"

(I completely respect relevance/power of twitter, but your ideas are BIGGER/more universal than something so contemporary.)

It is a book on social movements... Twitter works for now, but, no, it's not about Twitter. Hmmm.

What do you think of idea of dropping first chunk off? Existing "networked" buys you lots of flexibility/tech connotations.

Sigh. Titles are hard. I want to convey both the physicality of protest--tear gas--and the digital aspects. Intertwined.

The rest of your title (second two parts) is very potent and sustains that interpretation.

Also why I don't want to use "online" or "digital" protest--I'm talking about protests/movements in totality.
