�The final major section [. . .] includes three chapters that focus on the ways in which cultural, political, and economic values are contested through and within literacy practices on the Web. [. . .] The differential power exercises within [the] digital landscape – the tendential force of multinational capitalism and the related effects of poverty, the continuing operation of colonial and racist values, the export of western perspectives and language – ensures that differences based on socioeconomic status, color, and power are maintained, exacerbated, and reproduced, rather than eliminated. In these chapters, literacy values and practices – and the cultural, national, and personal identities that these values and practices help constitute – are revealed as contested sites, sites of social struggle and change� (Hawisher and Selfe 13).
