دانلود کتاب Network Sovereignty: Building the Internet Across Indian Country

In 2012, the United Nations General Assembly determined that affordable Internet access is a human right, critical to citizen participation in democratic governments. Given the significance of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to social and political life, many U.S. tribes and Native organizations have created their own projects, from streaming radio to building networks to telecommunications advocacy. InNetwork Sovereignty, Marisa Duarte examines these ICT projects to explore the significance of information flows and information systems to Native sovereignty, and toward self-governance, self-determination, and decolonization.By reframing how tribes and Native organizations harness these technologies as a means to overcome colonial disconnections,Network Sovereigntyshifts the discussion of information and communication technologies in Native communities from one of exploitation to one of Indigenous possibility.
