[11]: 253  In her analysis analysis of gold farming, media scholar Nakamura wrote that although "players cannot see each other's body while playing, specific forms of game labor, such as gold farming and selling, as well as specific styles of play, have become racialized as Chinese, producing new forms of networked racism that are particularly easy for players to disavow.

Jessie Daniels of Hunter College, City University of New York argues that the book's central insight is that the Internet is a "visual technology, a protocol for seeing that is interfaced and networked in ways that produce a particular set of racial formations."

[12][13] Doris Witt of the University of Iowa reviews the book, Race in Cyberspace edited by Beth E. Kolko, Lisa Nakamura, and Gilbert B. Rodman.
