| Sumario: | Drawing on 15 months of ethnographic research in one of the most under-developed regions in the Caribbean island of Trinidad, this book describes the uses and consequences of social media for its residents.

Not elevating oneself above others is one of the core values of the town, and social media becomes a tool for. |
