_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 the ways in
which the digital world effect on 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.
