My second book, Cyber Racism: White Supremacy Online & the New Attack on Civil Rights, explores the move of white supremacist organizations and their discourse onto the World Wide Web. Cyber Racism addresses a number of issues, including: How has social movement discourse been translated from print media into digital media? In what ways has globalization, and especially the subversion of national regulations against white supremacist symbols and speech (as in France, Germany and Canada), played a part in the presence of white supremacy in cyberspace? What are the implications of the unequal distribution of internet access for globalization, white supremacy and cyberspace? Is the Internet an inherently white and masculinist technology? And, how can critical theory (such as the Frankfurt School) help us both understand the presence of white supremacy online and work against it?

A shorter version of this work will appear in the forthcoming Race & Ethnicity volume in the MacArthur Series on Digital Media & Learning (due out in November, 2007).
