Exploring the intersections of digital humanities and African
diaspora studies How can scholars use digital tools to better
understand the African diaspora across time, space, and
disciplines? And how can African diaspora studies inform the
practices of digital humanities? These questions are at the heart
of this timely collection of essays about the relationship between
digital humanities and Black Atlantic studies, offering critical
insights into race, migration, media, and scholarly knowledge
production. The Digital Black Atlantic spans the African diaspora's
range-from Africa to North America, Europe, and the Caribbean-while
its essayists span academic fields-from history and literary
studies to musicology, game studies, and library and information
studies. This transnational and interdisciplinary breadth is
complemented by essays that focus on specific sites and digital
humanities projects throughout the Black Atlantic. Covering key
debates, The Digital Black Atlantic asks theoretical and practical
questions about the ways that researchers and teachers of the
African diaspora negotiate digital methods to explore a broad range
of cultural forms including social media, open access libraries,
digital music production, and video games. The volume further
highlights contributions of African diaspora studies to digital
humanities, such as politics and representation, power and
authorship, the ephemerality of memory, and the vestiges of
colonialist ideologies. Grounded in contemporary theory and praxis,
The Digital Black Atlantic puts the digital humanities into
conversation with African diaspora studies in crucial ways that
advance both. Contributors: Alexandrina Agloro, Arizona State U;
