Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"There’s a lot not to like about social media, some of which Eschmann explores in a discussion of a Facebook page that invites anonymous postings about race, among other topics, that seems to be a magnet for hate. . . . [Yet] Eschmann’s book reveals that there are opportunities for social media to be beneficial to people experiencing marginalization." * Everyday Sociology *
"The book makes a timely and relevant contribution both to the study of the societal impacts of masked racist ideologies widely fostered on social media and ways to resist this worrisome social phenomenon." * Ethnic and Racial Studies *
"
The Deportation Express strikes that rare balance between thoughtful, well-researched scholarship and smooth readability. . . . [it is] a story about each of us, as participants in an ongoing national experiment, and our collective work to shape our discourse, values, and identity as a United States community." * Southern California Quarterly *
