Reviews
'Linda Leung addresses questions too often sidestepped or ignored when it comes to New Media. Her specific and focused study has important implications in terms of a critique of the racialised and ethnocentric character of the [world-wide web]. Never overstated, her work demands a change of minds and practice. That she presents her critique through evidence, discussion, interaction and engagement, and does so with style and grace, and with a never rushed urgency, makes this book an indispensable guide.' John Hutnyk, Goldsmiths College, University of London, UK 'This book engages media theory across television, film and the internet in relation to race and ethnicity, thus allowing a historically contextual and nuanced understanding of the interplay of virtuality and ethnicity, online and offline. Leung lays out the complexity of absences and presences of racialized bodies' works in relation to the internet. Her work addresses gaps in what has thus far been a mostly US-centric approach to race in cyberspace.' Radhika Gajjala, Bowling Green State University, USA
