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.

Focusing on conditions in Latin America and the Caribbean, this volume of Studies in Media and Communications examines issues of digital inclusion related to young people, women, government policy making, and political engagement at the national and community levels. International contributors are experts in political science, social communication, media education, digital media, communications policy, gender and development studies, and social informatics. Some subject considered include media and visually impaired Caribbean youth, media education and civic engagement in Brazilian schools, women in Caribbean news media, and the use of social media platforms by women’s NGOs in Jamaica and Brazil. Other areas of discussion include assessment of ICT policies in Peru, inclusion policies and heritage preservation in Brazil, online interaction with governments, and technology use in Brazil’s favelas. Each chapter includes an abstract outlining the purpose, methodology, approach, findings, and implications of the cases and research in the chapter.
