Race and New Media: Post-Face, Call to Arms

promoted by roxy

First, let me introduce myself to the E Pluribus webspace: Annie Seaton, Aaron Barlow's erstwhile sidekick, collaborator, and co-conspirator. We intend, together, to reform most of what remains of Western Civilization. Hola! What follows is my post-face on the "Race and New Media" (after this RANM) conference. Ironically, this conference on "new" media, organized partly via email, googlechat, and Facebook, had its origins in a series of "real"-world encounters I'll introduce various protagonists, with an eye to their future appearance on these pages--

I met Omar Wasow (the future founder of Blackplanet.com) at Stanford in 1991. Back then, Omar was talkin' about rallying the "Mulatto Nation,"-- the hybridized and hybridizing with an ironic bent towards subversion. Today, Omar brings that same flair to his racial and political iconoclasm as a Government/Af-Am PhD candidate and tech analyst.
