Book synopsis

Media practices and the everyday cultures of transnational migrants are deeply interconnected. Mediating Migration narrates aspects of the migrant experience as shaped by the technologies of communication and the social, political and cultural configurations of neoliberal globalization. The book examines the mediated reinventions of transnational diasporic cultures, the emergence of new publics and the manner in which nations and migrants connect. By placing migration and media practices in the same frame, the book offers a wide-ranging discussion of the contested politics of mobility and transnational cultures of diasporic communities as they are imagined, connected and reproduced by various groups, individuals and institutions. Drawing on current events, activism, cultural practices and crises concerning immigration, this book is organized around themes: legitimacy, recognition, publics, domesticity, authenticity, which speak to the entangled interconnections between media and migration. Mediating Migration will be of interest to students in media and communication, cultural studies. The book raises questions that cut across disciplines about cutting-edge issues of our times: migration, mobility, citizenship and mediated environments.
