The Guardian names 'Woke Gaming' one of 2018's six best new books about video games.
This eye-opening collection of essays serves to remind readers of the power and potential of games as a catalyst for change. According to its co-editor Kishonna L Gray, an assistant professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, games and gamers are imagining the world anew, amid a culture of dehumanizing stereotypes, of hostility, harassment and erasure. Woke Gaming seeks to push readers to recognize persistent inequalities, as well as those who struggle for change within both our virtual worlds and in our everyday communities.
