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.

This book gives voice to the diverse diasporic Latin American
communities living in the UK by exploring first and onward
migration of Latin Americans to Europe, with a specific reference
to London. The authors discuss how networks of solidarity and local
struggles are played out, enacted, negotiated and experienced in
different spatial spheres, whether this be migration routes into
London, work spaces, diasporic media and urban places. Each of
these spaces are explored in separate chapters to argue that
transnational networks of solidarity and local struggles are
facilitating renewed sense of belongingness and claims to the city.
In this context we witness manifestations of British Latinidad that
invoke new forms of belongingness beyond and against old colonial
powers.
