“It’s not just that the first viable black presidential candidate in history made particularly good use of the fluid, hybrid, collaborative, poly-vocal, decentralized, viral and ‘open’ atmosphere of the Internet. It’s that the fluid, hybrid, collaborative, poly-vocal, decentralized, viral and ‘open’ values of the Web echo what many of us believe has been the underlying strength of how black culture has been made and distributed for about 400 years.” – Gary Dauphin, who also discusses the speculative fiction novel, Mumbo Jumbo, “holy Ur-text…for black, borderline conspiracy-theorists.” I’m rather embarrassed I’d never heard of it before. It’s now on my immediate to-read list.
