Description

Explore the deep connection between systemic racism and the evolution of gaming with Race, Culture and the Video Game Industry: A Vicious Circuit by Routledge. This book provides a necessary examination of how US social structures shaped the market logic and production practices of game developers from the 1970s through the 2010s. Through a critical political economic lens, the text analyzes the history of console, PC, and indie gaming industries. It investigates how specific cultural and economic landscapes in the United States enabled and maintained racial biases through the creation of the imagined "gamer" identity. This historical analysis is essential for readers interested in the intersection of business history and social studies. It offers a detailed look at how the industry developed over several decades, providing context for the current state of video game culture and development practices.
