Left of Black S11 · E9 | André Brock, Jr. Discusses African American Cybercultures on the Web

How do Black people show up online? And how does that digital presence contribute to vital conversations that, many times, can only happen in a virtual space? André Brock, Jr., Associate Professor in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication at Georgia Tech, joins Left of Black host Mark Anthony Neal to talk about how African Americans infuse Blackness into the digital spaces they occupy to deal with an increasingly polarizing, and hostile, social and political climate. The pair discussed Prof. Brock's latest book, the acclaimed Distributed Blackness: African American Cybercultures (NYU Press).
