Museum of the Black DigitalFirst to rec“Ruha Benjamin's Race After Technology is a breakthrough text in the fields of Technology Studies, Black Studies, and Media Sociology. The author deconstructs how technology reinforces legacies of white supremacy and discrimination through her theory of "the New Jim Code." Listen to Benjamin discuss the book in a 2020 video interview produced by Princeton University. A free discussion and reading guide is also available here: RAT Discussion Guide(2019).”
