Abstract
Nowadays, diasporic communities use social media to share their stories, emotions, memories, and hardships in this digital age. In contrast to more conventional forms of media and literature, online communities provide expats a sense of belonging, visibility, and connection. The term “digital diasporas” describes the ways in which communities that have been forcibly removed from their homes use online platforms to communicate with one another, keep cultural traditions alive, and negotiate identities that transcend geographical and ethnic lines. This research delves into the ways in which diasporic voices shared on social media platforms interact with modern English literature. The study demonstrates how online platforms impact storytelling styles, introduce new narrative forms, and challenge conventional literary boundaries by reading digital narratives alongside selected literary texts. Previously silenced voices are now able to have their voices heard, take part in public discourse, and influence cultural and political conversations thanks to social media. Social media has drastically altered diasporic expression, according to this study, which draws on ideas from cultural studies, digital media theory, and diaspora studies. Once reserved for a select few in the literary world, this conversation is now open to all and visible around the world. The paper takes a qualitative and multidisciplinary approach to analyze how journalism, digital platforms, and modern English literature are interacting. It finds that digital spaces are changing literary expression and diasporic identity in the modern world.
