This enlightening collection of essays offers a wealth of insights into the relationship between race and technology in America, and opens the door to further research in this essential subject. --John Morrow, Franklin Professor of History, University of Georgia This long overdue book will be the springboard for future studies of race and technology, and even the most seasoned scholar will find it extremely useful. The chapters are skillfully written, insightful, and comprehensible by a wide readership. In particular, I found James's chapter to be a real page turner, and Herzig's will likely inform further thinking about race and science. A key work in an emerging discipline. --Willie Pearson, Jr., Professor and Chair, School of History, Technology, and Society, Georgia Institute of Technology
