- W2004155679 abstract "As W.E.B. DuBois predicted, problem for American democracy in twentieth century was problem of color line. The color line is still one of thorniest aspects of political thicket, becoming more perplexing, if in some ways less stark, as society becomes increasingly multiracial and multiethnic. How might online affect color line? Much of speculation up to this point has focused pretty narrowly on - gap between white and minority access to internet. The digital divide means that minority citizens have less access to web-based sources of political information and may be less able to use voting techniques, such as online voting, that require a computer. We suggest that there's not much particularly new or interesting here. Socio-economic disparities and differential access to politically salient resources have always affected political prospects of minority voters. The current focus on online voting and digital divide is simultaneously too concrete and too abstract. It is too concrete in how it thinks about internet: essentially as a mechanism for recording votes, rather than as a social practice that helps to shape our understanding of community. But it is too abstract in how it thinks about democracy: it asks questions about relationship between internet and the public sphere or free participation in democratic deliberation, rather than asking how internet might change specific aspects of political system. In this essay, we suggest two ways in which people's experience with internet may affect how they think politics ought to be organized, and we consider consequences for political aspirations of minority communities. First, notion of virtual communities - that is, communities that affiliate along nongeographic lines - may provide new support for alternatives to traditional geographic districting practices. As Americans become more comfortable with idea that people can belong to voluntarily created, overlapping, fluid, nongeographically defined communities, which may be as important as physical communities in which they live, they may become more interested in election methods that recognize such communities. This possibility offers new political opportunities to minority voters, especially Asian Americans and Hispanics, as well as to nonracially defined minority groups. At same time, however, internet may give added strength to appeal of unmediated expression - that is, ability of individuals to express their preferences directly, rather than through institutional filters. This may further fuel pressures for direct, rather than representative, democracy. And this possibility poses new threats to minority rights, which are often better protected through a less purely majoritarian, less populist process." @default.
