The author challenges the problematic historical view of black people as quintessential information-age outsiders or poster children for the digital divide by uncovering their early technolust and repositioning them as eager technology adopters and consumers, and thus as co-constituent elements in the information technology revolution. Offers case studies that include lessons learned from early adoption of the Internet by the Association of Nigerians Living Abroad and their Niajanet virtual community, the grassroots organizing efforts that led to the Million Woman March, the migration of several historical black presses online, and an interventionist critique of race in contemporary video games. 505 0 $a Toward a theory of the egalitarian technosphere : how wide is the digital divide -- Digital women : the case of the million woman march online and on television -- New black public spheres : the case of the black press in the age of digital reproduction -- Serious play : playing with race in contemporary culture -- The revolution will be digitized : reimaging Africanity in cyberspace. 650 0 $a Computers $z United States $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a African Americans and mass media $z United States. 650 0 $a Digital media $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a African diaspora. 830 0 $a SUNY series, cultural studies in cinema/video. 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0816/2008017373.html 941 $a 6 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214030651.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231205012515.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718085001.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191119044129.0 952 $l UXAX826 $d 20150515015339.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20100405112509.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=988808EC0F4011DF93771FC5C41A358D 994 $a 02 $b IOMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
