Gray interrogates blackness in gaming at the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and (dis)ability. Situating her argument within the context of the concurrent, seemingly unrelated events of Gamergate and the Black Lives Matter movement, Gray highlights the inescapable chains that bind marginalized populations to stereotypical frames and limited narratives in video games. "Intersectional Tech" explores the ways that the multiple identities of black gamers-some obvious within the context of games, some more easily concealed-affect their experiences of gaming. The normalization of whiteness and masculinity in digital culture inevitably leads to isolation, exclusion, and punishment of marginalized people. Yet, Gray argues, we must also examine the individual struggles of prejudice, discrimination, and microaggressions within larger institutional practices that sustain the oppression. These "new" racisms and a complementary colorblind ideology are a kind of digital Jim Crow, a new mode of the same strategies of oppression that have targeted black communities throughout American history. Drawing on extensive interviews that engage critically with identity development and justice issues in gaming, Gray explores the capacity for gaming culture to foster critical consciousness, aid in participatory democracy, and effect social change. "Intersectional Tech" is rooted in concrete situations of marginalized members within gaming culture. It reveals that despite the truths articulated by those who expose the sexism, racism, misogyny, and homophobia that are commonplace within gaming communities, hegemonic narratives continue to be privileged. This text, in contrast, centers the perspectives that are often ignored and provides a critical corrective to notions of gaming as a predominantly white and male space"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Video games $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Race in video games. 650 0 $a Intersectionality (Sociology) 650 0 $a African American video gamers. 650 0 $a Women video gamers. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Social aspects. $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Race identity. 700 1 $a Sarkeesian, Anita, $e writer of foreword. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Gray, Kishonna L. $t Intersectional tech $d Baton Rouge : Louisiana State University Press, [2020] $z 9780807174401 $w (DLC) 2020016039 941 $a 3 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305043220.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030524.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20211201010704.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C143E71C652711EBAC2324F85BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
