| Abstract | Robo Sacer engages the digital humanities, critical race theory, border studies, biopolitical theory, and necropolitical theory to interrogate how technology has been used to oppress people of Mexican descent--both within Mexico and in the United Sates--since the advent of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994. At the same time, the book theorizes how technology--and particularly cybord subjectivity--can amend the reigning biopolitical and necropolitical structures of power in potentially liberatory ways.
