Cyber Selves Feminist Ethnographies of South Asian Women

In her new book Gajjala addresses the political, economic, and cultural ramifications of the explosion of Internet communication. She has developed a cyberethnography_based on case studies with email discussion lists such as the South Asian Women's list, the third-world-women list, the women-writing-culture list and the sa-cyborgs list_which examines the issues these lists raise regarding discursive production within an intellectual power field. This book will be a valuable reference for those with an interest in ethnographic methods, cultural studies, feminist studies, and new technologies.

Radhika Gajjala is associate professor of communication studies at Bowling Green State University.
