The State of Digital Civil Rights in the USA - Contemporary Discourse in the Twenty-First Century -

The discussion of civil rights has been changing in the digital age. A focus on skin color, gender, religion or sexual orientation, in sum, individual characteristics, is not of interest anymore in a digital environment shaped by technologies such as the Internet and the WWW. This publication based on a doctoral dissertation in the field of U.S. cultural studies elaborates on the increasing importance of digital civil rights in U.S. society.
