Race, Racism, and Inequality in the Digital Age leads students through an examination of the complex and ever-evolving landscape of race in America with emphasis on digital interactions and how the digital world affects physical, nondigital lives. The book provides students with a deeper understanding of the intersecting forces that shape racial inequalities and opportunities for social change in a digital world.
Section I explores the historical context of race in America, including its origins and social construction, as well as the ways it has shaped identities and power dynamics. Section II examines how race intersects with technology and digital platforms, addressing issues such as digital divides, racial profiling, and the reproduction of inequalities in online spaces. In Section III, students read about the role of hashtags and social media in mobilizing resistance and social justice movements, with a particular focus on the #BlackLivesMatter movement. In the final section, the book reflects on lessons learned and explores strategies for creating a more equitable society.
Developed to help students better understand the nature of social issues and opportunities in an increasingly connected society, Race, Racism, and Inequality in the Digital Age is an ideal textbook for courses and programs in sociology and race and ethnic studies.
