This dissertation examines questions of political solidarity across uneven difference by focusing on how processes of information coordination, production, and circulation shape social movements formations. I demonstrate how shifting relationships between marginalized people and institutions of state and corporate power shape how groups differently engage and use technologies within social movements. Drawing on insights from multiracial and working class social movements alongside histories of computing and technology, this dissertation contributes to broader concerns in studies of critical race, digital media, and social movements by insisting upon both racial and class consciousness within projects of communication. This project addresses the question of contemporary digital media and social movements from a historical perspective by situating the emergence of different political subjectivities, particularly racialized, working class claims-making and politics, through political economic, technological and policy changes.Chapter 1 introduces Asian America as a mediated political formation to complicate presumptions around technology and solidarity, given its historical entanglements and encounters around U.S. capital, empire, and militarism, all of which also undergird histories of technological innovation. Chapter 2 draws from the archival materials of the Third World Women's Alliance (1968-1979) to offer an alternate history of networking that foregrounds the politics of difference and highlight ways liberal individualism within dominant computing narratives can be a security threat to collective safety. Chapter 3 looks at the technological conditions for solidarity by juxtaposing the creation of information sharing infrastructures by state actors and progressive left movements during the 1990s, which is marked by both the popularization of the Internet alongside the expansion of anti-immigration and carceral policy reforms that created new punitive codes of racialization. These histories lead up to Chapter 4, which assesses how organizers navigate the competitive information marketplace in today's digital landscape. Here, I discuss the convergence between the optimization of technological performance-the maximizing of efficiency, speed, and capacity-and performances of solidarity.
