Cyber Racism and Community Resilience demonstrates how
the social sciences can be marshalled to delineate, comprehend
and address the issues raised by a global epidemic of hateful
acts against race. Authored by an inter-disciplinary team of
researchers based in Australia, this book presents original
data that reflects upon the lived, complex and often painful
reality of race relations on the internet. It engages with the
various ways, from the regulatory to the role of social
activist, which can be deployed to minimise the harm often
felt.
