Power and the World Wide Web [Special Issue). (Education).

S. Gruber, ed. 2002. Computers and composition 19, no. 3:227-368.

Not all articles in this special issue are relevant to Technical communication readers. Gruber initially sought to examine "power relations in cyberspace, ... online venues for women and other groups traditionally excluded

from many positions of political and economic influence, and ... practices that encourage agency as well as resistance to oppressive practices .... [The resulting articles] provide numerous opportunities for readers to look closely at a variety of research and teaching practices. They also contribute to current research on defining and redefining technological literacy as more than a functional skill that students can acquire with ease... [In fact, they show] that students' technological literacy cannot be separated from their social, cultural, and economic worlds."
