Book Synopsis
This text explores the relationship between race and technology. From Indian H-1B workers and Detroit techno music to karaoke and the Chicano interneta, this book uses case studies to document the use of technology - rupturing stereotypes such as Asian whizz kids and black technophobes.

Trade Review
"Technicolor is at once heroic and tragic: an anthology that will prompt new conversations." -- Richard King ,Washington State University
"What is revealed? Powerful visions, future-fantasies that as science fiction writer Nalo Hopkinson would argue, “can make the impossible, possible" * Resource Center for CyberCulture Studies *
"New York's South Asian cabbies probably had no idea they were straddling the digital divide when they used their own CB channels to organize surprise strikes and demonstrations. But in Technicolor: Race, Technology, and Everyday Life, the editors bring together a series of essays that broaden the concept far beyond the borders of your average two-part Times series." * New York Magazine *
