Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the Digital Divide in light of America's larger racial divide, in an attempt to figure out what meaningful access for African American to technologies and the larger American society can or should mean. It is argued that African American rhetorical traditions--the traditions of struggle for justice and equitable participation in American society--exhibit complex and nuanced ways of understanding the difficulties inherent in the attempt to navigate contradictions of gaining meaningful access to technological systems and at the same time resisting the exploitative impulses that they present.
