Cheryl Martens & Cristina Venegas 
Digital Activism, Community Media, and Sustainable Communication in Latin America [PDF ebook] 

This book brings together academic and activist work on community media, feminist,  decolonial, and Indigenous perspectives to digital activism, including Free and Open Communication in Latin America. The essays in this collection speak to major changes over the past decade that are reshaping  digital media uses and practices.  The case studies presented here question many commonly held assumptions around global media ownership, sustainability, and access relevant to countries beyond Latin American contexts.
