Hobsbawm.</p><p>Advanced students and scholars of Marxism, nationalism, media, and politics won't want to miss Fuchs' latest in-depth study of social media and politics that uncovers the causes, structures, and consequences of nationalism in the age of social media and fake news.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Christian Fuchs</strong> is a professor of media and communication studies and a critical theorist of communication and society.
