Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The presented output has two dimensions. It introduces the reader to the role of media in the construction of diasporic and migrant identities, while also revealing in empirical ways how this relation is actually uninitiated and sustained in everyday life and through complex spatial connections. The use of rich data collected in ethnographic research over two years unfolds the complex relation between identity and the media and indicates how media become significant agents for diaspora, identity and community. The research in London and New York City, the two ultimate global cities, offers a unique transnational and transatlantic contribution to the study of globalization, diaspora, media and identity."--BOOK JACKET.
