"Analyzing racist harassment and hate speech on Zoom, this book examines the emergence of the practice that has become known as Zoombombing. While most accounts refer to Zoombombing as simply a new style or practice of online trolling and harassment in the wake of increased videoconferencing since the outbreak of Covid-19, this volume examines this as a specifically racialized and gendered phenomenon with Black people and Black communities being targeted with racialized and gendered harassment. Racist Zoombombing brings together histories of online racism and algorithmic warfare with in-depth interviews by Black users on their experiences. The book explains how Zoombombing is a form of racial violence, interrogates our ideas about online space and community, and challenges our notions of a physical/digital distinction with racial harassment of Black people and communities. A vital resource for media, culture and communication students and scholars that are interested in race, gender, digital media, and digital culture"--.
