Across the United States, Latin American diaspora communities have played diverse and important roles in influencing the future of their homelands. While much attention is focused on the way that diasporas can directly support democratic strengthening and movements in their countries of origin, there are a myriad of ways that these communities can defy notions of distance and belonging to successfully mobilize for economic, cultural and political change back home.
On May 31, USIP hosted a conversation with experts and members of local Latin American and Caribbean diaspora communities as they reflected on their relationship with home and the way that their work — and the work of their communities — has or has not been a productive voice for development and democracy. This conversation highlighted both challenges for diaspora communities as well as examples of their successful mobilization as a force for positive change back home.
