This book provides a unique analysis of the intersection between gender, sexuality, race, and social media. While early scholarship identified the internet as being inherently egalitarian, this volume presents the internet as a real
social place where inequalities matter and manifest in particular ways according to the architectures of particular platforms. This volume utilizes innovative methodologies to analyze how internet users both re-inscribe and resist inequalities of gender, sexuality, and race. It describes how the internet has ameliorated and bridged geographic and numerical limits on community formation, and this volume examines how the functioning of social inequalities differs on- and offline. The book provides an intersectional analysis of gender, sexuality, race, and social media; includes theoretical and empirical contributions regarding the use of the internet and social media; and presents the internet as a real
social place in our everyday lives where inequalities do matter.
