Adolescents, the Internet, and the Politics of Gender: A Feminist Case Analysis.
Durham, Meenakshi Gigi
Race, Gender & Class, v8 n4 p20-41 2001
Presents a feminist case analysis based on field observation of hands-on Internet sessions for low-income, minority, urban middle school students. Examination of the social dynamic within which Internet use occurred indicated that adolescents' social locations in terms of gender, race, and class worked to constrain Internet use to support dominant relations of power.
