Uses of Facebook to Promote the Construction of a Transnational Community
Malagasy diaspora in France has many associations, but it’s an exploded structure because of the lack of legitimacy. In this way, state actors take part in the organization of a tribune in order to push forward Malagasy diaspora. In October 2017, they organized the Forum de la diaspora malgache, which took place in Antananarivo with state actors, political actors, socio-economic actors and diaspora members. Organizers took social networks in order to promote the event. Nevertheless, people react differently. Major intercultural and international communication issues are minimized and Malagasy diaspora seems to have various meanings. In fact, there is a proletarian diaspora, an elitist diaspora but also a socio-economic diaspora.
