Migrants and diaspora communities are shaped by their use of
information and communication technologies. This book explores the
multifaceted role played by new media in the re-location of these
groups of people, assisting them in their efforts to defeat
nostalgia, construct new communities, and keep connected with their
communities of origin. Furthermore, the book analyses the different
ways in which migrants contribute, along with natives, in
co-constructing contemporary societies - a process in which the
cultures of both groups are considered. Drawing on contributions
from a range of disciplines including sociology, anthropology,
psychology and linguistics, it offers a more profound understanding
of one of the most significant phenomena of contemporary
international societies - the migration of nearly a billion people
worldwide - and the relationship between technology and society.
