Description: "Learning Race and Ethnicity explores the intersection of race and ethnicity with post-9/11 politics, online hate-speech practices, and digital youth and media cultures. It examines universal access and the racial and ethnic digital divide from the perspective of digital media learning and youth. The chapters treat such subjects as racial identity in the computer-mediated public sphere, minority technology innovators, new methods of music distribution, digital artist Judy Baca's worth with youth, Native American digital media literacy, and minority youth technology access and the pervasiveness of online health information."--BOOK JACKET.
