Web blog: Lost in digitization? Postcolonial heritage production, bookish art, and the workers of words behind Google Books

Research output: Non-textual formWeb publication/siteOther research output

Abstract

This blog points at the problems faced by the people who scan the books which are on Google Books. Their fingers (digiti, in Latin) show up on scans and failed scans, but they remain invisible as people. Usually these workers are from ethnic minorities. They are the ones who make available the Western archive.
