Building creative digital resistance: Latinas engaging in Chicana practices on social media sites

This dissertation investigates Indigenous, Chicana, and Afro-Latina (ICAL) womxn's self-productions (creative digital resistance) on social media sites with a focus on the potential challenge to the matrices of oppression. It does so by looking at social media affordances, digital micro-storytelling, and self-presentations as ICAL content creators engage with Chicana practices such as faith witnessing, world-traveling, hometactics, and decolonial imaginary.
