separately, and how these continue to develop. The volume features

Sponsored by the Communication, Information Technologies, and Media
Sociology section of the American Sociological Association
(CITAMS), this volume assembles relevant research focusing on ICTs
in Latin America and the Caribbean-two understudied areas of global
importance. Regarding Latin America, the mobile broadband
revolution is taking place and the spread of mobile telephony and
broadband Internet is beginning to reach more economically diverse
populations. Concerning the Caribbean, this region reflects perhaps
the greatest cultural, geographical and linguistic diversity in the
Western hemisphere. Because of historical links with Africa, Europe
and other metropoles and the region's proximity to the United
States and Latin America, the Caribbean offers a unique angle from
which to examine the growth of ICTs. The volume features
international editorial teams with leading scholars from the
Caribbean, Latin America, and North America. Bringing these voices
together, the volume sheds light on how existing policies are
meeting challenges to digital inclusion, as well as the benefits of
connectivity within these societal contexts.

Sponsored by the Communication, Information Technologies, and Media
Sociology section of the American Sociological Association
(CITAMS), Volume 19 of Emerald Studies in Media and Communications
draws on global case studies that examine media use by millennials.
By bringing together contributors and case studies from four
continents to examine millennial digital media practices, the
volume charts out multiple dimensions of Gen Y's digital media
engagements: smartphone use among Israelis, the activities of
Brazilian youths in LAN houses, selfies in the New Zealand context,
and American millennials engaged in a variety of digital pursuits
ranging from seeking employment, to content creation, to gaming, to
consuming news and political content. Through these case studies we
see parallels in the mediated millennial experience across key
digital venues including Twitter and YouTube, and MMOs.
None-the-less, contributors also prompt us to keep in mind the
importance of those millennials without equal access to resources
who must rely on public venues such as libraries and LAN Houses.
Across these venues and arenas of practice, the research provides
an important collection of research shedding important light on the
first generation growing up with the normative expectation to
perform digital identity work, create visual culture, and engage in
the digital public sphere.
