In this exploration of the way racism is translated from the
print-only era to the cyber era the author takes the reader through
a devastatingly informative tour of white supremacy online. The
book examines how white supremacist organizations have translated
their printed publications onto the Internet. Included are examples
of open as well as 'cloaked' sites which disguise white supremacy
sources as legitimate civil rights websites. Interviews with a
small sample of teenagers as they surf the web show how they
encounter cloaked sites and attempt to make sense of them, mostly
unsuccessfully. The result is a first-rate analysis of cyber racism
within the global information age. The author debunks the common
assumptions that the Internet is either an inherently democratizing
technology or an effective 'recruiting' tool for white
supremacists. The book concludes with a nuanced, challenging
analysis that urges readers to rethink conventional ways of knowing
about racial equality, civil rights, and the Internet.
