Diversity in Cyberspace
This anthology adds to a growing literature about the multiple aspects of cyberspace. I found several of the chapters particularly helpful in the examination of the intersections of race and gender in cyberspace. While there are many books that deal with gender and cyberspace, there are not as many that deal with race or racism for that matter. If you read and enjoyed...

Boring, Biased and Bland
I had Dr. Nakamura in a Cyberspaec Literature class at Sonoma State University. Unfortunately, her teaching was as bad as the book. 1) It is incredibly boring. How a dozen authors managed to turn an exciting new field into boring concepts and trite sayings is byond me. 2) This book is, to use a Don DeLillo term, "White Noise".

Diversity in Cyberspace,
By Ms. Janni Aragon (CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Race in Cyberspace (Paperback)
This anthology adds to a growing literature about the multiple aspects of cyberspace. I found several of the chapters particularly helpful in the examination of the intersections of race and gender in cyberspace. While there are many books that deal with gender and cyberspace, there are not as many that deal with race or racism for that matter. If you read and enjoyed _Cyberghetto or Cybertopia? Race, Class and Gender on the Internet_, you will appreciate this book.

Boring, Biased and Bland,
This review is from: Race in Cyberspace (Paperback)
I had Dr. Nakamura in a Cyberspaec Literature class at Sonoma State University. Unfortunately, her teaching was as bad as the book.1) It is incredibly boring. How a dozen authors managed to turn an exciting new field into boring concepts and trite sayings is byond me. 2) This book is, to use a Don DeLillo term, "White Noise". This means there are lots of words, but they have little meaning. You can read for dozens of pages and not learn a single thing 3) Bad Layout. The essays are only haphazardly organized, and there's no way to tell which will be good or bad. Do not read this book in class or for pleasure. |
