Description
Sponsored by the Communication, Information Technologies, and Media Section of the American Sociological Association, Volume 10 of the Communication and Information Technologies Annual, Digital Distinctions & Inequalities, brings together nine studies of this increasingly important form of inequality. Drawn from four continents, the research provides a global overview of the current state of the field in different cultural contexts. As a whole, the volume illuminates the complexities of digital inequalities as they are manifested in groups and societies EURO"even when access is widespread. In their depth and breadth, the volume's contributions provide an indispensable guide to emergent forms of digital inequality as it rapidly evolves.
Reviews / Votes
Exploring digital distinctions and inequalities, sociologists and information and communication scholars discuss new perspectives on digital stratification; diversities of usage, social class, and capital; emotions and disposition; open wi-fi and mobile networks; and public policy. Among their topics are cultural stratification on the Internet: five clusters of values and beliefs among users in Britain, understanding Internet use by teenagers from different social backgrounds, the impact of emotional costs on student learning outcomes, inter-ethnic ties with mobile communications in homogeneous and ethnically mixed cities: a structural diversification approach, and an analysis of a public policy program on digital inclusion in California. -- Annotation (c)2016 * (protoview.com) *More details
