note = {A protestor beaten to the ground in Cape Town, indigenous activists
threatened with eviction in Rio, teenagers shot dead by police
officers on duty – How do we know about these incidents, which are
otherwise rarely reported on? In the past decade, urban citizens
recording videos as audiovisual testimony, thereby bearing witness to
protests and police violence emerged as a phenomenon from cities
across the globe. Who is filming these videos and why? Jacob Geuder
explores how digital grassroots video activism came about and how it
is shaping urban struggles. Drawing on Henri Lefebvre and focusing on
Cape Town and Rio de Janeiro, this nuanced ethnographic study asks how
urban movements use digital media to expose police violence, amplify
marginalized voices, and challenge neoliberal urbanism. The book
examines the unequal distribution of attention across digital
platforms, the role of gatekeepers, and the risks faced by
videographers documenting state violence.},
