Intersectional tech : Black users in digital gaming / by Gray, Kishonna L.,author.; Sarkeesian, Anita,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)803788;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Foreword / by Anita Sarkeesian -- Introduction: Intersectional formations and transmediated methods -- The "problem" of intersectionality in digital gaming culture -- Historical narratives, contemporary games, racialized experiences -- Hypervisible blackness, invisible narratives : black gamers cocreating transmediated masculine identity -- #Me2, #Me4, black women, and misogynoir : transmediated gaming practices as intersectional counterpublics -- #TechFail : from intersectional (in)accessibility to inclusive design -- Queering intersectional narratives : claiming space and creating possibilities -- Conclusion: Resisting intersectional marginalization using transmediated technologies in the digital era."In "Intersectional Tech: Black Users in Digital Gaming," Kishonna L. Gray interrogates blackness in gaming at the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and (dis)ability. Situating her argument within the context of the concurrent, seemingly unrelated events of Gamergate and the Black Lives Matter movement, Gray highlights the inescapable chains that bind marginalized populations to stereotypical frames and limited narratives in video games. "Intersectional Tech" explores the ways that the multiple identities of black gamers-some obvious within the context of games, some more easily concealed-affect their experiences of gaming. The normalization of whiteness and masculinity in digital culture inevitably leads to isolation, exclusion, and punishment of marginalized people. Yet, Gray argues, we must also examine the individual struggles of prejudice, discrimination, and microaggressions within larger institutional practices that sustain the oppression. These "new" racisms and a complementary colorblind ideology are a kind of digital Jim Crow, a new mode of the same strategies of oppression that have targeted black communities throughout American history. Drawing on extensive interviews that engage critically with identity development and justice issues in gaming, Gray explores the capacity for gaming culture to foster critical consciousness, aid in participatory democracy, and effect social change. "Intersectional Tech" is rooted in concrete situations of marginalized members within gaming culture. It reveals that despite the truths articulated by those who expose the sexism, racism, misogyny, and homophobia that are commonplace within gaming communities, hegemonic narratives continue to be privileged. This text, in contrast, centers the perspectives that are often ignored and provides a critical corrective to notions of gaming as a predominantly white and male space"--

Includes bibliographical references."In a guide that is part storytelling, part self-inquiry, therapists Jaya Ramesh and Priya Saaral situate parenting neurodivergent children of color within the context of various interlocking systems of oppression, including settler colonialism, White supremacy, ableism, and capitalism. These intersections engender isolation and loneliness. Using the voices of parents on the front lines and other experts, the book offers an invitation to readers to slow down and reflect on their own parenting journeys. When parents can be given space to listen to their own voices, to connect with their children, and find community with others, they can find the most radical ways to disrupt systems of oppression"--

"A heartwarming story about family, resilience, fashion, and staying true to who you are-told through three generations of tailors in a rapidly changing Seoul. When Deokgu opens a brand new tailor shop in town, all of Seoul is skeptical of his modern styles. Who would want to wear such funny-looking suits? But Deokgu remains devoted to his craft, and it's not long before the shop begins to flourish, becoming a beloved fixture in the community. Written and illustrated by Ahn Jaesun, The Tailor Shop at the Intersection follows three generations of tailors weaving themselves and their business into the fabric of their community in a rapidly changing Seoul. Ahn's award-winning illustrations convey with great affection a more complicated story about the pressures that rapid development place on culture, commerce, and local business. In The Old Tailor Shop at the Intersection, Ahn Jaesun shows how commitment, adaptability, and staying true to yourself help pave the way for success-and how embracing change and honoring tradition can go hand in hand" --
