She also does a great job of highlighting the ways in which digital culture has transformed in recent years, as a result of what technology can do for people organizing around these issues.

Digital resistance is a strategy for social change and activism. It includes the use of the Internet, blogs, websites and chatrooms. However, this digital resistance is not just about technology; it is a complex structural and geopolitical process that helps to produce new ways of organizing and thinking about power. This audiobook tells the story of Black women in America who are using new technologies to resist centuries-old racist violence and also provide a space for intersectional liberation.
