Through extensive archival research and media archeology, Avery Dame-Griff reconstructs the manifold digital networks of transgender activists, cross-dressing computer hobbyists, and others interested in gender nonconformity who incited the second revolution of the title: the ascendance of \"transgender\" as an umbrella identity in the mid-1990s. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDame-Griff argues that digital communications sparked significant momentum within what would become the transgender movement, but also further cemented existing power structures. Covering both a historical period that is largely neglected within the history of computing, and the poorly understood role of technology in queer and trans social movements, The Two Revolutions offers a new understanding of both revolutions--the internet's early development and the structures of communication that would take us to today's tipping point of trans visibility politics. Through a history of how trans people online exploited different digital infrastructures in the early days of the internet to build a community, \u003ci\u003eThe Two Revolutions\u003c\/i\u003e tells a crucial part of trans history itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Avery Dame-Griff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1479818305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781479818303\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2024","brand":"Avery Dame-Griff","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070152110335,"sku":"9781479818303","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f539149e-f10b-4408-b537-386c033c3e89.jpg?v=1685428665","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-two-revolutions-avery-dame-griff-9781479818303","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
