How do internet technologies help those who want to help the world's poor? In this exciting and highly original new work, Radhika Gajjala explores this question by bringing together concepts and theoretical frameworks rarely placed in conversation with one another, namely digital media technologies and philanthropy. It will shift conversations at the intersections of postcolonial studies, development studies, affect studies, race and technology studies, and gender and globalization studies.
