+
+ + From everyday apps to complex algorithms, Ruha Benjamin cuts through tech-industry hype to understand how + emerging technologies can reinforce White supremacy and deepen social inequity. +
+ ++ Benjamin argues that automation, far from being a sinister story of racist programmers scheming on the dark + web, has the potential to hide, speed up, and deepen discrimination while appearing neutral and even + benevolent when compared to the 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 technology, designed + to stratify and sanctify social injustice in the architecture of everyday life. +
+ ++ This illuminating guide provides conceptual tools for decoding 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 ourselves manufacture. +
