Greetings,
Does anyone have knowledge of ongoing or published scholarly work regarding Internet use by migrant networks, either 1) among expatriates/emigrants, or 2) between expatriates/emigrants and home country? I have personal knowledge of many such networks, and the topic was discussed in Miller & Slater (2000) _The Internet: An ethnographic approach_. However, I haven't found anything else in the literature beyond the occasional reference to Internet use as part of transnational networking. I am thinking about future empirical research on this topic.
Thank you for your help,
