Descrizione

This article examines the political participation of the Colombian diaspora, particularly in Rome, through the lens of political remittances. Through qualitative research that employs semi-structured interviews, we analyse the political behaviour of the Colombian diaspora in Rome in conjunction with the 2021 social protests and the 2022 voting. The findings indicate that political participation patterns shift through the mediation of political remittances, including the vocabulary of peace and political emotions circulating through social and personal networks during times of social and political upheaval.
