Through an investigation on how Palestinian youth appropriate low-end information and communication technologies (ICTs) and digital media forms, Sanjay Asthana and Nishan Havandjian analyze how certain developments in globalization and media convergence enable young people to create new civic spaces. While the rights discourse has elaborated a set of ICT, child and youth policies anchored in three key inter-linked notions: citizenship, participation, and empowerment, marginalized Palestinian youth are reworking the meanings behind these notions in new and interesting ways.
