Summary: a web guide of durable value
Review: Dr. Alkalimat's book is that rare print guide to the Web which will endure even as the Web grows. Not only are the sites described and listed the richest and most stable, but the organization of the book will clarify your understanding of the African American experience in cyberspace and out. It has been so slow and frustrating to dig through search engines for the good stuff -- this book is near my computer for good. Should be near any family, school, university or community PC/Mac as well. A model approach for presenting the work of any population that is mistakenly understood as unplugged. And low priced too.

Summary: Review of _The African American Experience in Cyberspace_
Review: This book is OFF THE HOOK!Everybody is online and uses Google.com or some other search engine but often a typical search gets mixed results. And you can't always count on the first ten selections taking you where you want to go. THIS BOOK IS A ROAD MAP to resources in cyberspace that make up an entire curriculum for people in school or just anyone trying to become wise about the historical experiences of the Black community. There is an organized table of contents and a detailed index, so its great for browsing or finding a specific site - checking things out in general or searching to answer a specific question. Every Black Studies program should require all students to get this, and then use it for all their classes. We all go to the web for everything anyway, so we might as well all use the best road map to Black cyberspace. It's a very useful resource for families too!
