As reliance on computing technologies increases, it is also important to address questions about racial bias in the design of digital platforms, labour inequalities in tech industries, and digital surveillance on Black and Brown communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory and research on race and digital media. Focusing on the experiences of people of colour in the United States, it explores the various ways that racism and white supremacy have shaped aspects of our digital world—from the infrastructures and policies that support technological development, to algorithms and the collection of data, to the interfaces that shape engagement. Yet it also reveals how communities of colour have deployed digital media in ways that expand the public sphere, contest the status quo, and give voice to creativity and joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRace and Digital Media\u003c\/i\u003e provides an essential resource for students of communication, media, technology, and society.
