Ethnicity and race in social networking sites
Hi everyone, I am currently doing research on the use of social networking sites by Norwegian ethnic minority youth. My study focuses on Norwegian social networking sites as well as other popular sites like Facebook, Myspace, and Hi5, all of which are popular among the target group of my study. The methods I use involve in-depth interviews and a discourse analysis of personal profile pages. I am looking at processes of identity construction and the potential of social networking sites as spaces of free expression. I am at the moment trying to update my reading list on the subject, so if anyone has any suggestions on literature related to race and ethnicity in social networking sites, and on the internet in general, I would really appreciate your contribution. Henry
Hi Henry, please explain: what exactly do you mean by "race"? Certain genetic lumps? Best --u At 1:38 Uhr +0200 9.7.2007, henry mainsah wrote:

There is also a new edited volume about race & ethnicity online due out from MIT Press in November (2007). This is sponsored by the MacArthur Foundation's Series on Digital Media & Learning, and there's some more info about that project on their Spotlight Blog (http://spotlight.macfound.org/ - click on the Race-Ethnicity link to the right).
