  In early 1996, the web was ephemeral. But by 2001, the internet was forever. How did websites transform from having a brief life to becoming long-lasting? Drawing on archival material from the Internet Archive and exclusive interviews, Ian Milligan's Averting the Digital Dark Age explores how Western society evolved from fearing a digital dark age to building the robust digital memory we rely on today. By understanding this history, we can equip our society to better grapple with future internet shifts.Explore this 2024 book fromHopkins Press here:https://lnkd.in/ef_qRQ3u

  By writing Indigenous actors out of national histories, Mexican and U.S. elites also wrote them out of their lands, a legacy of erasure and removal that continues when we repeat these eighteenth- and nineteenth-century settler narratives and that reverberates in discussions of immigration, migration, and Nativism today.Discover a timely book fromUniversity of Virginia Press that's Open Access (FREE) to read here:https://lnkd.in/eCNzZksP
