Register for We Love Reading with Obie and Renny!
The reading group, We Love Reading Group with Obie and Renny, is a welcoming, supportive and brave space that features books with themes on equity, antiracism, justice, healing, belonging, joy and love. The spring 2024 book selection is “Algorithms of Oppression: How Search Engines Reinforce Racism” by Safiya Umoja Noble.
“In Algorithms of Oppression,” Safiya Umoja Noble challenges the idea that search engines like Google offer an equal playing field for all forms of ideas, identities and activities. "[Her] central insight—that nothing about internet search and retrieval is political neutral—is made…through the accumulation of alarming and disturbing examples. [She] makes a compelling case that pervasive racism online inflames racist violence IRL.”—Los Angeles Review of Books
