Her lyrical interventions into the form of the academic book disrupt expectations about what ethnography ought to look like, and her unusual perspective as a member and leader of early online community gives the book a welcome grounding in lived experience. Her earnest, passionate, and deeply felt intervention into cyberculture studies is grounded in an excellent knowledge of the most relevant theoretical debates regarding postcolonialism, gender, and technology. This book also includes an exciting dialogue with a South Asian women's labor activist, and is committed throughout to collaborative thinking and knowledge-creation.

Synopsis
In her new book Gajjala addresses the political, economic, and cultural ramifications of the explosion of Internet communication. She has developed a cyberethnography_based on case studies with email discussion lists such as the South Asian Women's list, the third-world-women list, the women-writing-culture list and the sa-cyborgs list_which examines the issues these lists raise regarding discursive production within an intellectual power field. This book will be a valuable reference for those with an interest in ethnographic methods, cultural studies, feminist studies, and new technologies., In her new book Gajjala examines online community formations and subjectivities that are produced at the intersection of technologies and globalization. She describes the process of designing and building cyberfeminist webs for South Asian women's communities, the generation of feminist cyber(auto)ethnographies, and offers a third-world critique of cyberfeminism. She ultimately views virtual communities as imbedded in real life communities and contexts, with human costs. The online discussions are visible, textual records of the discourses that circulate within real life communities. Her methodology involves a form of 'cyberethnography,' which explores the dialogic and disruptive possibilities of the virtual medium and of hypertext. Gajjala's work addresses the political, economic, and cultural ramifications of the Internet communication explosion.

I did message buyer asking about mold and didn't receive a reply -- luckily, there appears to be no mold. Great value for a 100+ yr old book!Mistress of Shenstone by Florence L.

- e***k (233)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaShipping was incredibly fast and the packaging assured that the book arrived safely and securely. The condition of the book was described accurately and the price made this purchase a great value. This seller is terrific!
- a***p (8)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Último añoCompra verificadaI received my book in absolutely pristine condition, better than described! Which is impressive because the copy is from 1930 and it looks like it has never been handled. It shipped very quickly, even faster than the estimated time given by a week. It was packaged very carefully. The book and shipping price was also very fair considering the age and condition of the book and the shipping speed. I am very pleased with this seller and will be ordering from them again in the future.All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque HC 1930 (#396258036329)
