All:

I am currently working on a manuscript exploring how African Americans are using new media. Whenever discussions of inequality and new media/ICTs come up - the "Digital Divide", African Americans are usually cast as one of the more disadvantaged groups.

However, I cannot find research that shows the effects of this disadvantage.

Has anyone come across any research that shows empirically the consequences of the digital divide for African Americans?
