From: Dewayne Hendricks <dewayne () warpspeed com> DIGITAL DIVIDE: RACISM'S NEW FRONTIER Issue: Internet "If we have racism," writes Robin Chandler, "a digital divide is its new colonial frontier." He suggests that IT has become an important site of struggle for democracy and social and economic justice. "The future of linking students and teachers in networked learning communities around the globe represents the best hope for a peaceful century," says Chandler, who suggests that IT is key for better jobs and better lives. He likens the digital divide to structural inequalities such as poverty, lack of access and unequal educational opportunities.
