This collection of twelve essays explores this surprisingly underexamined aspect of cyberculture studies as it tackles a broad range of questions: the role played by language in the construction of racialized identities online; offline representations of cyberspace as a racially coded environment; and the impact technology and education has on racial inequities-in terms of access and representation on the web. Groundbreaking and timely, i Race in Cyberspace /i brings to light the important yet vastly overlooked intersection of race and cyberspace. br Contributors: David Crane, Jennifer Gonzalez, Beth E. Kolko, Joe Lockard, Tara McPherson, Lisa Nakamura, Jeffrey A. Ow, Gilbert B. Rodman, David Silver, Jonathan Sterne, Rajani Sudan, Mark Warschauer. |
