Cecilia M Rivas

Salvadoran Imaginaries

Mediated Identities and Cultures of Consumption

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Cecilia M. Rivas takes us on a journey through twenty-first century El Salvador and to the diverse range of sites where the nation's post war identity is being forged. Combining field ethnography with media research, Rivas deftly toggles between the physical spaces where the new El Salvador is starting to emerge and the virtual spaces where Salvadoran identity is being imagined, including newspapers, literature, and digital media.
