A cursory glance at the history of techno music suggests paradoxes. The product of an intersection of factors and influences resolutely local to a certain time in the urban American Midwest, it soon found a passionate audience halfway around the world, in West Berlin. Embedded in black, working and middle class experience, it became an expression of revolutionary hope and optimism.  In Black to Techno, Jenn Nkiru explores the origins and impact of the radical musical movement that originated in Detroit in precisely this complexity. – 粗略地看一眼技术音乐的历史，就会发现悖论。由于各种因素和影响的交集，在美国中西部城市的某个特定时间内，它很快在世界各地的西柏林找到了热情的听众。在黑人、工人和中产阶级的经验中，它成为了革命希望和乐观主义的一种表达。在《从黑人到技术》中，Jenn Nkiru探讨了起源于底特律的激进音乐运动的起源和影响，正是这种复杂性。
