Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code
Ruha Benjamin names the “New Jim Code,” showing how automated systems repackage racial control as innovation and calling for abolitionist technological imagination.
📝 Book Review & Summary
This book belongs in FemRes because it treats technology as a feminist problem of power, labor, embodiment, and knowledge, not as a neutral tool. For readers, it expands digital feminism beyond representation: Ruha Benjamin names the “New Jim Code,” showing how automated systems repackage racial control as innovation and calling for abolitionist technological imagination.
It is especially useful alongside FemRes topics on AI ethics, data justice, digital labor, cyberfeminism, and design justice, where technical systems are read as social arrangements.
