Rivendale Press, 2009. == Intro == For considered in terms of its artistic productions, the 1890s was singularly preoccupied with "masking" its texts. "Small details of dress" are apparent on even some of the most prosaic productions of the decade — a decade when virtually no British book came to market without at least some pretensions to embody a designed or "decorated" entity..."

''Black Software: The Internet and Racial Justice, from the AfroNet to Black Lives Matter.'' Oxford University Press, 2020. Black America dragged Jim Crow to its deathbed in the 1960s. Still, the nation’s elite science and engineering institutions—the ones that were developing the first digital computers—locked black Americans out of their ranks. Back in 1964, this moved scholars from talking merely about technologi- cal systems and relation..." current
