This book focuses on how Latin American people and cultural
practices have moved from one continent to another, and
specifically to London. How do Latin Americans experience such a
process and what part do different people play in the re-making of
Latin identities in the neighbourhoods, parks, bars and dance clubs
of London? Through a critical engagement with theories of
globalization, the geography of power, cultural identity and the
transformation of places, the book explores how the formation of
Latin identities is directly related to wider social, economic and
political processes. Drawing on the voices of migrant peoples,
community activists, shop owners, sports organizers, club owners,
dancers, dance teachers, musicians and disc jockeys, the book
argues that the micro movements of people - through a shopping mall
or across a dance floor in a club - are directly connected to
global processes involving the regulated movement of citizens,
sounds and images across national boundaries and through cities.
