Rezensionen

In just a few well-crafted chapters, the authors masterfully articulate a Black technocultural praxis through a centering of Black everyday life as the essence of the digital humanities. Orienting digital humanities to prioritize culture over tool use is a phenomenal recalibration of an overwhelmingly technical field, but Steele, Lu, and Winstead also present Black life as a source of theoretical reflection on itself. Taken as a whole, this book does much to enrich the futuristic and archival possibilities for Black culture that digital humanities has always promised but rarely delivered. An extraordinary work.
- André Brock author of Distributed Blackness

Attending to an ethics of institution building grounded in love for Black communities, and calling for an intentional critique of digital tools and technologies, this book is a gift, an offering, and a treasure. Doing Black Digital Humanities with Radical Intentionality is essential reading in the fields of Digital Humanities and Ethnic Studies and for those invested in creating change within higher education.
