"International Explorations of Technology Equity and the Digital Divide: Critical, Historical and Social Perspectives provides a riveting account of the deep historical, political and cultural issues underpinning the potential opportunities and challenges provided through digital technologies. The reader will have the opportunity to experience and learn from the often-unexamined inequities in the global arena and will emerge from this experience with a much deeper understanding of the current state of the Digital Divide and the complexities that surround digital inequities. Appropriately, the book does not provide solutions for this complex issue, but it does provide important knowledge and tools for understanding and addressing the Digital Divide. ... I can promise readers that they will find a "good read" in these chapters, as well as a possibly life-changing experience with marginalized participants in the global information age."
