This book reconsiders communication in relation to the digital divide and community media in Latin America, breaking new ground in the English-language academic market. This book considers how access to technology does not necessarily guarantee its equal distribution or use within communities. Contributors present utilize interdisciplinary theoretical and methodological tools to analyze community media open source movements, as well as indigenous community uses of digital media in Latin America and beyond. The book breaks new ground by demonstrating through a wide range of case studies how digital media is being used and transformed by Latin American communities. Contributors illustrate how digital media is being used to preserve indigenous oral traditions and historical memory, as well as in struggles for state recognition of nationality.weiterlesen
