Inspired by Trebor's comment "Why do so many people care more about digital rights management on
iTunes, intellectual property, and privacy on Facebook than about the
suffering of people in Rwanda or indeed Neda Soltani (or the other
Iranian students whose death was not recorded)?” I wrote a short essay on Neda Soltani, race and gender, and citizen journalism that tried to describe how the interests of digital media users/producers converge with those of women of color. You can see it at the place where I blog, difference engines, which is a transnational women's blog collective, at:<br>
