Would also add @alondra Nelson whose research into the sociology of data is pathbreaking but also who co-edited one of the first - maybe the first? - anthology on race and the Internet? Technicolor: Race, Technology, and Everyday Life (2001) https://twitter.com/mozilla/status/1308542941225336833">https://twitter.com/mozilla/s...

Lisa Nakamura @lnakamur has written and edited 4 books on race, gender, and the Internet plus many, many articles since at least 2002.

Wendy Hui Kyong Chun @whkchun is prolific when it comes to research on race, gender, digital media (software!) ... and her essay, "Race and/as Technology" is by now a canonical text in Internet and media studies.

An early text that lots of people forget about or maybe don& #39;t know - and certainly don& #39;t cite enough - is "Asian America. Net: Ethnicity, Nationalism, and Cyberspace" co-edited by Rachel Lee and Sau-ling Wong (my professor!) published in 2003.

NB: the foundational scholarship on the internet began with scholars trained or working in ethnic studies fields!

Technicolor, Asian America [dot] Net, and Cybertypes were published around the same time and predominantly involved WOC who were (very) early career scholars.

The early 2000s were a very important period in critical race studies of the Internet...

PS. All of the authors I& #39;ve named may have more books than I& #39;m giving them credit for - they& #39;re prolific and it& #39;s hard to keep up with their publications!
