Matt Mahmoudi: Migrants in the Digital Periphery, Gebunden

Klappentext

"A brilliant analysis of how digital urban technologies operate to border and exploit racialized communities across the world. Locating Silicon Valley and the wider tech industry in a longer history of enclosure, containment, and extraction under racial capitalism, Migrants in the Digital Periphery calls on us to resist and refuse the violence of ones and zeros. This is urgent reading for our digital times."--Ida Danewid, Lecturer in Gender and Global Political Economy, University of Sussex

"A must-read for anyone interested in technology, inequality, and immigration. Matt Mahmoudi reveals how algorithms and AI reinforce dynamics of racial capitalism and digital exclusion, opaquely shaping the fates of immigrants from New York to Berlin."--Angèle Christin, Associate Professor of Communication and Richard E. Guggenhime Faculty Scholar, Stanford University
"Offers rigorous and sobering insight into the ever-expanding infrastructures of the digital border that threaten cities of refuge as sites of hope and welcome. Delving into the datafication of everyday life, Mahmoudi shows how digital technologies are regularly and ordinarily mobilized to secure, but also to disguise, the racial ordering and bordering of cities."--Myria Georgiou, Professor of Media and Communications, London School of Economics and Political Science
"Mahmoudidemonstrates the complex relationship between techno-determinism as a concept and the government's complicity with Silicon Valley. An original and important book."--Eleanor Drage, co-host of the podcast The Good Robot and Senior Research Fellow at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence, University of Cambridge
