I strongly recommend a book with a world view on the Digital Divide as well as thoughtful research on several types of divides. My doctoral students just finished reading it and found it a rich resource.
Van Dijk, J. (2005). The deepening divide: Inequality in the information society. Thousand Oaks: Sage. Here's info about the author from the publisher's website: Jan A.G.M. van Dijk is an internationally recognized expert in the field of communication, with new media studies as his primary interest. The author of The Network Society: Social Aspects of the New Media (SAGE, 1999) and co-editor of Digital Democracy: Issues of Theory and Practice (SAGE, 2000), van Dijk is a professor of Communication Science at Twente University, the Netherlands, and serves as an advisor of the European Commission of the Information Society Forum. The last chapter focuses on policy implications and may be especially helpful. Good luck with your work! Rita H.
