Jessie Daniels’s Summary
Jessie Daniels is Associate Professor at Mercy College, Dobbs Ferry/Manhattan, NY.
Daniels is the author of two books, including White Lies (Routledge, 1997) and Cyber Racism, (Rowman & Littlefield, 2009), and a number of scholarly articles having to do with digital media and race, including a 2007 article commissioned by the MacArthur Foundation (http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/browse/browse.asp?btype=6&serid=170).
