Synopsis

This is the first book to provide a comprehensive review and analysis of how media produced by ethnic communities, and for ethnic communities, affect identity and perceived lines of division between "us" and "others," as well as how the production and consumption of ethnic media affect the character of the larger media and societal landscapes.

Integrating key ethinic media studies with original research, this book makes a unique contribution by covering both consumers and producers of ethnic media, as well as the history of ethnic media, its role in ethnic communities, the effect of globalization, and the professional challenges faced by ethnic media journalists. A compelling discussion on the future of ethnic media concludes the book and points the way toward further research.

"This is an excellent contribution to a growing body of important literature."---Donald R. Browne, University of Minnesota

"This comprehensive book offers a global overview. The rich data discussed and the activities proposed make a very good introductory text for ethnic media teaching. The organization of the material is excellent and the writing is particularly engaging and confident, and brings the subject to life."---Myria Georgiou, London School of Economics and Political Science

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

A relevant and timely book with a unique approach: the focus here is on how and why ethnic and racial minorities produce and consume media for themselves - not just how they are represented in or by the media.
