Latinas on the Line

Invisible Information Workers in Telecommunications

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Latinas on the Line: Invisible Information Workers in Telecommunications brings to attention the histories of Latinas in telecommunications, demonstrating how these histories contribute to the larger canons on Latina labor, communications, race, gender, and social constructions of technology. Through their intersectional identities, Latinas in telecommunications offer particular insights to the history of telecommunications and their own ‘belonging’ within these technological spaces.
