Sobande's playful text deftly shifts between media theory and digital practice in order to showcase how Black British women are re-making themselves through a variety of digital media.\" --\u003cb\u003eAkwugo Emejulu\u003c\/b\u003e, University of Warwick, UK\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"This is an engaging, rigorously researched documentation of the culturally significant but often neglected digital experiences of Black women. As Sobande so vividly explains, this is a story rooted offline, one of intersecting 'in real life' oppressions and structural racism, a story grounded in the particular history of Black women in Britain organising and creating spaces for themselves.\" --\u003cb\u003eRebecca Omonira-Oyekanmi\u003c\/b\u003e, reporter, editor and writer, UK\u003c\/p\u003e\"This book adds to the important but limited literature on the realities of Black women's experiences in the UK. The book offers a timely and deft treatise of the digital strategies that Black British women use to navigate their world. Whether it's hair tutorial videos on YouTube or clever Twitter banter, Black women in Britain are using the internet in innovative ways and Francesca Sobande offers an excellent guide to these practices.\"--\u003cb\u003eMoya Bailey\u003c\/b\u003e, Northeastern University, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Sobande's work thrusts open the doors of an area of limited research to date.
