Archive Ethnography: What is the main argument, narrative, or e/affect

What is the main argument, narrative, or e/affect?Gallon examines the relationship between the digital humanities and Black studies, emphasizing the racialization of “humanity” within the humanities and how racialized systems of power continue to shape “blackness” and marginalize the voices of black peoples within both the fields of the humanities and digital studies. Gallon argues that through Black Digital Studies, the intersection of digital humanities and Black studies, scholars can “bring forth the humanity of marginalized peoples through the use of digital platforms and tools” (p. 2). In particular, Gallon suggests that one way to do this is through, what they term, a “technology of recovery.” In terms of the Black Digital Humanities, this “recovery” consists of using digital tools to delve into archival and historical silences caused by “systemic global racialization” to restore marginalized voices and histories (p. 2).  Exemplary quotes or images?I found the following quote to be very important for understanding Gallon’s argument: “The black digital humanities therefore foregrounds the digital as a mutual host for racism and resistance and brings to light the “role of race as a metalanguage” that shapes the digital terrain, fostering hegemonic structures that are both new and old and replicate and transcend analog ones” (p. 4).
