Title

Where Platform Capitalism and Racial Capitalism Meet: The Sociology of Race and Racism in the Digital Society

Summary

This book focuses on the intersection of race, racism, and digital society through the lens of racial capitalism. It argues that racial capitalism provides a robust framework to understand how these technologies operate within society, particularly in propagating intentional confusion or disinformation used to privatize harmful agendas or manipulate public opinion. According to the book, this perpetuates racial inequalities, and understanding these dynamics is critical for addressing issues of race and racism in the digital age.
