Description:	This book tells a situated story of internet use by a particular part of the Iranian migrant population: second-generation internet users living in LA. It is a story that diverges from my initial intention to focus on the diasporic-blogger-dissidents, whose long distance politics tends to dominate international news headlines and Western imaginaries about Iranians and the internet. It also diverges from the story of their parent’s generation who mostly migrated to the USA in the 1970s and 1980s, and who are typically drawn to different kinds of websites and media practices. This book seeks to investigate how digital media practices are part of the cultural practices of becoming Iranian American for this generation. In the remainder of this chapter, I introduce the field site, outline my fieldwork practice, and define the main research question that this book seeks to address.
