Reviews
"The global impact of information technology is a fact, but what does it mean? Is it a story of coming together, or mere colonization; a multi-cultural success, or a cultural nightmare? This book investigates cyberculture from the view point of Caribbean culture, a daring change in perspective. Instead of assigning blame it opens up potentialities - let the game of mutual influence begin." - Wolfgang Schirmacher, Program Director of Media & Communications, The European Graduate School (EGS)
"Innovative and thorough, this study lays the foundation for a new field of scholarship." - Gregory Ulmer, Professor of English, University of Florida
