Readers' Poll
As RACE TRAITOR begins its third
year on the WWW, we thought it was time to ask our online readers
to tell us something about themselves, what they think of our
web site, how they use it and what they want to see it become.
The print journal has just published its
eighth issue and the Routledge Press anthology of the first five
issues, in addition to winning a major book award, is already
in a second edition. While "new media" like the Web
has proven to be an especially effective means for disseminating
the new abolitionism, its practical workings remains somewhat
elusive.
This poll is an initial attempt to gather
viewpoints and numbers from a few of the thousands of visitors
to RACE TRAITOR over the last two years. All responses are confidential
but we've included a checkbox if you'd like to permit your general
comments to be posted to the site, with or without your name.
Thanks for taking the time to complete
our first readers' poll. We'll be analyzing the responses and
posting the results and selected comments early in the New Year.
