Reviews
Twine's book is an important contribution to this canon of work, but it is also original in that it is a thoroughly sociological study ... The book's rigorous scholarship is presented in a highly accessible style, such that we become drawn into the lives and experiences of many of the 'Geek Girls' featured as they attempt to negotiate the 'dominant White world' in which they work., Geek Girls explores intersectionality in women's experiences in technology careers, thinking beyond the careers of white, middle class, Indian, or heterosexual women. Twine highlights the real divide between the experiences of white and Asian women in the industry compared to Black women, including the racial advantages they receive through their relationships with white friends and partners. Geek Girls complicates our understanding of race, gender, and sexuality in Silicon Valley, France Winddance Twine casts a harsh light on the supposed meritocracy of the tech industry, where Black and Latina 'geek girls' confront painful barriers while their white and Asian coworkers leap over them, thanks to elite connections. It's not what you know but whom you know and who you are that largely determines success in Silicon Valley-a massive injustice that stifles innovation and calls for new forms of recognition and solidarity. -- Sharon Zukin, author of The Innovation Complex: Cities, Tech, and the New Economy The first step in dismantling unjust systems is knowing exactly how they operate. In Geek Girls, France Winddance Twine peels back the screen to illuminate the mechanisms that produce and sustain inequality in Silicon Valley. Through innovative research, this book offers conceptual tools that illuminate the way racism, sexism, classism, and casteism stifle opportunity behind the veil of meritocracy. This book should be read by everyone who is committed to broadening opportunity in our deeply stratified world. -- Ruha Benjamin, author of Race After Technology: Abolitionist Strategies for the New Jim Code Geek Girls explores intersectionality in women's experiences in technology careers, thinking beyond the careers of white, middle class, Indian, or heterosexual women.

The book arrived promptly and packages safely. I would have liked to have seen a note of minor shelf wear in the listing but I can tell it is the exact book in the photos and can tell it has not been read or handled much. All-in-all I am pleased and was a fair deal. Thank you!
