Reviews

In his characteristic cutting-edge analysis, Professor Langmia underscores the importance of cybercultural literacy for Black netizens. He critiques the dangers of digital media access without awareness, consumption without control, and participation without purpose. This volume is an essential guide for navigating the cybermediascape; a must-have toolkit for surviving the digital cultural revolution; and a propelling force for cultural engagement and transformation. A theoretically grounded and practically sound work for the hour, this treatise on Afro-digital culture and citizenship inspires curiosity and indicts complacency. A must-read for Blacks and non-Blacks, alike.
