This immensely useful volume explores how the generation that grew up with Twitter, memes, YouTube, and streaming television engages with racial and cultural politics today. As a remarkable teaching tool, it will spark essential conversations about a range of the most pressing social and political issues of our time, from the Black Lives Matter movement and gentrification to cultural appropriation and efforts to diversify media representations.
