Index

"Sweeping and exquisitely composed, this book should be the first stop for anyone interested in race and digital media. Lopez deftly synthesizes the problems and possibilities that emerge in our digital world. Lovingly worn, dog-eared, and adorned with colorful tabs this is how I expect to find this book in the hands of new students and long-time scholars alike!"
Ruha Benjamin, Princeton University

"Those of us who teach about race and digital media have been waiting for this book. Lopez offers an impressive survey that accessibly balances critical concepts on race, inequality, and social change with those of digital innovation, architectures, and governance."
Sarah J. Jackson, University of Pennsylvania

"Lori Kido Lopez provides a compelling and comprehensive account of the various aspects related to both the history and current state of the intricate relationship between race and digital media. ... The writing style is clear and engaging, weaving in pertinent research findings with colorful anecdotes and stories that enrich the narrative. ... the book would be very helpful for the uninitiated reader, including students in fields such as sociology, anthropology, political science, and communication studies. It should also be helpful for beginning researchers in these fields who look for a useful introduction into prominent questions and previous research efforts in each of the various study areas that form the complex relationships between racial inequalities and the highly influential world of digital media."
