Imagining Latinidad: Digital Diasporas and Public Engagement Among Latin American Migrants

Imagining Latinidad Examines How Latin American Migrants Use Technology For Public Engagement, Social Activism, And To Build Digital, Diasporic Communities. Thanks To Platforms Like Facebook And Youtube, Immigrants From Latin America Can Stay In Contact With The Culture They Left Behind. Members Of These Groups Share Information Related To Their Homeland Through Discussions Of Food, Music, Celebrations, And Other Cultural Elements. Despite Their Physical Distance, These Diasporic Virtual Communities Are Not Far Removed From The Struggles In Their Homelands, And Migrant Activists Play A Central Role In Shaping Politics Both In Their Home Country And In Their Host Country-- Introduction: Imagining Latinidad In Digital Diasporas / David S.
