ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book explores one such initiative by the State Library of Western Australia that attempts to bridge the digital divide in remote communities and towns. It focuses on what is happening in homes and communities with low incomes, minimal access to resources, and non-mainstream digital practices. The book provides the reader a story with promise, where there are cross-cultural interactions and collaborative engagements between different generations and between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. It also explores a digital initiative to deal with sexual and gender-based violence, which is a global concern affecting the psychosocial health and overall well-being of millions of girls and women around the world. The book presents the readers a fascinating look at the extraordinary creativity of a group of young, nonwhite digital media producers in a particular community in the United States.
