Vulnerabilidad y prácticas de información: experiencias de migrantes latinos (indocumentados) en EE.UU.

Abstract

This article presents the second part of a study that explores information practices (research, use and distribution of information) of Latino migrants, particularly those who are undocumented, on the border between Mexico and the United States, and in Seattle, Washington. In these contexts, different information practices are generated. At the border we find more information poverty practices of the kind «small world», which are expanding and consolidating insofar as the sense of belonging is strengthened, after spending more time settled than the estimated in the United States. However, vulnerability and transience are maintained by the permanent risk of deportation.
