MERCADO, Antonieta. Transnational indigenous media: Fostering grassroots cosmopolitanism. Comun. soc [online]. 2015, n.23, pp.171-193. ISSN 0188-252X.

Being indigenous or an immigrant has often meant exclusion from full citizenship. When we find the two conditions intersecting in a group, we have an important area to study modern citizenship. This essay offers a discussion of some of the communicative practices of media production that indigenous migrants from the state of Oaxaca engage in their communities in the us. It discusses issues of ensuring cultural preservation while participating in the transnational public sphere, and transnationalism as a precondition for "Grassroots Cosmopolitanism".

Keywords : Grassroots cosmopolitanism; citizenship; ethnic media; public sphere; transnationalism.
