Narratives of Migration, Relocation and Belonging - Latin Americans in London

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.At this virtual book launch the authors, Dr Patria Román-Velázquez and Dr Jessica Retis, discussed 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, through which we witness manifestations of British Latinidad that invoke new forms of belongingness beyond and against old colonial powers. The book will be presented by Professor Cathy McIlwaine (King's College London) and Professor Silvio Waisbord (George Washington University), and the event will be chaired by Professor Maxine Molyneux.
