This transnational and interdisciplinary breadth is complemented by essays that focus on specific sites and digital humanities projects throughout the Black Atlantic. Covering key debates,\u003ci\u003e The Digital Black Atlantic \u003c\/i\u003easks theoretical and practical questions about the ways that researchers and teachers of the African diaspora negotiate digital methods to explore a broad range of cultural forms including social media, open access libraries, digital music production, and video games. The volume further highlights contributions of African diaspora studies to digital humanities, such as politics and representation, power and authorship, the ephemerality of memory, and the vestiges of colonialist ideologies. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrounded in contemporary theory and praxis, \u003ci\u003eThe Digital Black Atlantic\u003c\/i\u003e puts the digital humanities into conversation with African diaspora studies in crucial ways that advance both. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContributors: Alexandrina Agloro, Arizona State U; Abdul Alkalimat; Suzan Alteri, U of Florida; Paul Barrett, U of Guelph; Sayan Bhattacharyya, Singapore U of Technology and Design; Agata Błoch, Institute of History of Polish Academy of Sciences; Michał Bojanowski, Kozminski U; Sonya Donaldson, New Jersey City U; Anne Donlon; Laurent Dubois, Duke U; Amy E.
