Why read it?
1 author picked Digital Diaspora as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I fell in love with this book as a young graduate school student at the University of Iowa. Curled up in my tiny 500-square-foot apartment, I devoured the book, not realizing morning had turned into afternoon and then evening.
At a time in the early 2000s when "serious" scholarship largely included Black people using technology in condescending and pathologizing ways, I read Everett sharply responding with counter-evidence of Black publics' involvement at every turn of media developments.
The book, I remember, made me feel like writing a counter-history that places "us" at the center is not only possible but transformational.
From Raven's list on The best books about internet activism (hint: the kids are actually alright).
