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 � that speak to the entangled interconnections between media and migration.�Mediating Migration will be of interest to students in media; communication; and cultural studies. The book raises questions that cut across disciplines about cutting-edge issues of our times � migration; mobility; citizenship; and mediated environments.
