These case studies show that in the last few decades, Black Latinx communities have been making themselves visible and asserting long-standing claims and rights through digital tools and platforms, which have been essential for enacting discussions and creating new connections between diverse groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAfro-Latinx Digital Connections\u003c\/i\u003e includes both research articles and interviews with practitioners who are working to create opportunities for marginalized communities. Projects discussed in this volume range from an Afrodescendant digital archive in Argentina, blog networks in Cuba, an NGO dedicated to democratizing technology in Brazilian favelas, and the recruitment of digital media to fight racism in Peru. Contributors demonstrate that these tools need not be state of the art to be effective and that they are often most useful when employed to sustain a resilience that is deep and historically grounded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDigital connections are shown here as a means to achieve social justice and to create complex self-representations that challenge racist images of Afrodescendant peoples and monolithic conceptions of humanity. This volume expands the scope of digital humanities and challenges views of the field as a predominantly white discipline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEduard Arriaga\u003c\/b\u003e, associate professor of Spanish and comparative literature at Clark University, is the author of \u003ci\u003eTeoría Literaria\u003c\/i\u003e and coauthor of \u003ci\u003eLas redes del gusto: La novela en Colombia 1990-2005\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eAndrés Villar\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer, artist, and independent scholar based in Ontario, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors: \u003c\/b\u003e Sandra AbdAllah-Álvarez Adebayo Adegbembo Maya Anderson-González Eduard Arriaga Silvana Bahia Yvonne Captain Monica Carrillo Yancy Castillo Alí Majul Maria Cecilia Martino Andrés Villar\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 194\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52636423881011,"sku":"9781683402046","price":152.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/o0OA0nqVZ19781683402046.webp?v=1782787183","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/afro-latinx-digital-connections-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
