Conti. 520 $a From #Gamergate to the daily experiences of marginalization among gamers, gaming is entangled with mainstream cultures of systematic exploitation and oppression. Whether visible in the persistent color line that shapes the production, dissemination, and legitimization of dominant stereotypes within the industry itself, or in the dehumanizing representations often found within game spaces, many video games perpetuate injustice and mirror the inequities and violence that permeate society as a whole. Drawing from the latest research and from popular games such as World of warcraft and Tomb raider, Woke gaming examines resistance to spaces of violence, discrimination, and microaggressions in gaming culture. The contributors of these essays identify strategies to detox gaming culture and orient players toward progressive ends, illustrating the power and potential of video games to become catalysts for social justice. 650 0 $a Video games $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Video games $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Violence in video games. 650 0 $a Sex in video games. 650 7 $a Sex in video games. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01938692 650 7 $a Video games $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01166436 650 7 $a Video games $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01166440 650 7 $a Violence in video games. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01744184 700 1 $a Gray, Kishonna L., $e editor. 700 1 $a Leonard, David J., $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Woke gaming. $d Seattle : University of Washington Press, 2018 $z 9780295744193 $w (DLC) 2018016086 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023532.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220303012600.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20191002013716.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B99770B6E4DA11E99FA2294397128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
