Virtual Ethnicity : Race, Resistance And The World Wide Web, Hardcover by Leung, Linda, ISBN 0754643034, ISBN-13 9780754643036, Brand New, Free shipping in the US During the late 1990s, the Internet was argued to be almost monolithically white and male, and it is on this period that Leung's (U. of Technology, Australia) latitudinal study of cyberspace focuses. In order to examine modes of ethnic minority production, representation and consumption on the World Wide Web, she isolates the Web from the Internet as a whole, and studies its use in such grounded contexts as domestic and educational environments, so that the virtual realm is considered against the backdrop of relationships of power in everyday life. Her theoretical base is media studies, particularly the many studies of race and ethnicity in film television, and popular culture. Her empirical base is 14 ethnic minority women on a foundation course in new technology. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
