With this book, Anita Say Chan offers a historical, globally multisited analysis of the relations of dispossession, misrecognition, and segregation expanded by dominant knowledge institutions in the Age of Big Data. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e While technological advancement has a tendency to feel inevitable, it always has a history, including efforts to chart a path for alternative futures and the important parallel story of defiant refusal and liberatory activism. Chan explores how more than a century ago, feminist, immigrant, and other minoritized actors refused dominant institutional research norms and worked to develop alternative data practices whose methods and traditions continue to reverberate through global justice-based data initiatives today. Looking to the past to shape our future, this book charts a path for an alternative historical consciousness grounded in the pursuit of global justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anita Say Chan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520402847\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520402843\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 255\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Anita Say Chan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45897862414591,"sku":"9780520402843","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fc2ad727-654d-4003-8784-b76e56361c63.jpg?v=1721374932","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/predatory-data-anita-say-chan-9780520402843","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
