[ecrea] New book: The internet and formations of Iranian American-ness

New book from Palgrave Macmillan

"The internet and formations of Iranian American-ness: Next Generation 
Diaspora"

Donya Alinejad


This book is an ethnography of the uses of various web platforms and 
applications by second-generation Iranian Americans living in Los 
Angeles, the long-time media and cultural center of Iranian diaspora. 
Investigating how practices of web use are embedded within everyday 
social, cultural, and political life in LA, the book unpacks 
contemporary diasporic belonging through its discussion of the digital 
mediation of race, memory, home, and the historic Iranian Green Movement 
of 2009. Its chapters are organized around each of these four themes, 
with each showing how web media practices have become integral to 
Iranian American identity formation for this generation. It argues for a 
notion of "digital styles” to explain how specific web applications 
afford new stylings of diaspora culture.

This book is based on the doctoral research of the author, who received 
her PhD in Social and Cultural Anthropology from the Vrije Universiteit 
Amsterdam, and is currently a postdoctoral researcher on the ERC project 
“Digital Crossings in Europe: Gender, Diaspora, and Belonging” at the 
Department of Media and Culture Studies at Utrecht University in the 
Netherlands.
