The interplay between race and technology has captured the attention of scholars in sociology, communication, media studies, and beyond. Previous research has focused on a range of topics including the centrality of race to the structure and function of the Internet, critiques of digital divide studies, and the phenomenon of Black Twitter. Although a robust history of critical race and digital studies exists, there has yet to be a definitive overview that traces the development of this important field. In this review, I fill this gap by delineating a genealogy of critical race and digital studies by mapping the intellectual terrain of the field. To do this, I begin with a broad overview of the history of Internet studies before reviewing key areas in the field of critical race and digital studies, including colorblind studies of the web, digital divide studies, and Black Twitter. I conclude with a focus on the ways that this body of literature can be brought forth to critically understand the implications of emerging areas of academic debate on studies of race and technology.

批判种族和数字研究的家谱：过去，现在和未来

种族与技术之间的相互作用已引起社会学，传播学，媒体研究等领域学者的关注。先前的研究集中在一系列主题上，包括种族对互联网的结构和功能的关注，对数字鸿沟研究的批评以及“黑推特”现象。尽管存在着重要的关于批判性种族和数字研究的历史，但仍然没有明确的概述可以追溯这一重要领域的发展。在这篇评论中，我通过绘制关键种族和数字研究的家谱来描绘这一领域的知识领域，从而填补了这一空白。为此，在回顾关键种族和数字研究领域的关键领域（包括对网络的色盲研究，数字鸿沟研究和Black Twitter。最后，我将重点介绍如何利用这些文献来批判性地理解新兴的学术辩论领域对种族和技术研究的影响。
