Dalton, D., & Ramirez Plascencia, D. (Eds.). (2022). Imagining 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.
