Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code

Ruha Benjamin's Race After Technology is a thought-provoking and essential read for anyone interested in understanding how emerging technologies can perpetuate social injustices.

In this groundbreaking book, Benjamin argues that automation and AI are not neutral but rather have the potential to reinforce White supremacy and deepen existing inequalities.

Through the concept of the "New Jim Code," she exposes how discriminatory designs are embedded in seemingly innocuous technologies, from everyday apps to complex algorithms.

By providing a sociologically informed skepticism towards tech promises, Benjamin challenges readers to question not only the products they use but also their own role in manufacturing social injustices.

This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the hidden biases and power dynamics at play in the digital age.
