Far from a sinister story of racist programmers scheming on the dark web, Benjamin argues that automation has the potential to hide, speed, and even deepen discrimination, while appearing neutral and even benevolent when compared to racism of a previous era. Presenting the concept of the New Jim Code, she shows how a range of discriminatory designs encode inequity: by explicitly amplifying racial hierarchies, by ignoring but thereby replicating social divisions, or by aiming to fix racial bias but ultimately doing quite the opposite. Moreover, she makes a compelling case for race itself as a kind of tool a technology designed to stratify and sanctify social injustice that is part of the architecture of everyday life. This illuminating guide into the world of biased bots, altruistic algorithms, and their many entanglements provides conceptual tools to decode tech promises with sociologically informed skepticism. In doing so, it challenges us to question not only the technologies we are sold, but also the ones we manufacture ourselves"-- |cProvided by publisher. 648 7 2000-2099|2fast 650 0 Digital divide|zUnited States|y21st century. 650 0 Information technology|xSocial aspects|zUnited States |y21st century. 650 0 African Americans|xSocial conditions|y21st century. 650 0 White people|zUnited States|xSocial conditions|y21st century. 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE|xDemography.|2bisacsh 650 7 Race relations.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 African Americans|xSocial conditions.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00799698 650 7 Digital divide.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00893667 650 7 Information technology|xSocial aspects.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00973131 650 7 White people|xSocial conditions.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01174829 650 7 Digitale Spaltung|2gnd|0(DE-588)4739364-6 650 7 Mediendienste|2gnd|0(DE-588)4647487-0 650 7 Soziale Ungleichheit|2gnd|0(DE-588)4055736-4 650 7 Wissenskluft|2gnd|0(DE-588)4257825-5 651 0 United States|xRace relations|xHistory|y21st century. 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 651 7 United States|2gnd|0(DE-588)4078704-7 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iOnline version:|aBenjamin, Ruha.|tRace after technology. |dCambridge, UK ; Medford, MA : Polity, 2019|z1509526439 |w(DLC) 2019015243|w(OCoLC)1091294625 994 C0|bCKE
