I might be late to the party, but ‘Algorithms of Oppression: How Search Engines Reinforce Racism’ is a straightforward and insightful book that sheds light on the impact of technology on the Black psyche in today’s society. It’s a great read, and I believe it’s so important to understand black history as we navigate this ever-evolving technological era. 😊

I want to hear other peoples suggestion on this one! ’The Burden of Heritage’, Alleyne, A (2022) is a very heavy book but I appreciate a lot how she describe it step by step. Also, the effects of anything can me measured from so many different perspectives, are you looking for a specific one?
