Latinidad: Digital Diasporas and  Public Engagement Among Latin American 
Migrants. Brill.

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.
