Diversifying Barbie And Mortal Kombat by Yasmin B. Kafai
This book examines how popular toys and video games shape youths’ identities, learning experiences, and opportunities by reproducing or challenging norms of gender, race, and class. Through empirical studies and critical analysis, the authors explore how design, marketing, and play practices marginalize some groups while empowering others, and they highlight examples of inclusive design, classroom practice, and community initiatives that broaden participation. The work concludes with practical recommendations for educators, designers, policymakers, and researchers aimed at making play and digital culture more equitable and culturally responsive.
