In contemporary media cultures, media are part of the most important sites where collectiverepresentations and narrations of a postmigrant civic culture are (re)negotiated. At thesame time, they offer powerful resources and instruments for civic participation and collaboration.Media and Participation in PostMigrant Societiesaddresses an important shortcoming inthe research on participation in media cultures by introducing a special focus on post-migrantconditions to the discussion both as conceptual refinements and as empirical studies.The contributions of this book provide diverse analyses of the conditions, possibilities,but also constraints for participation and the role of media communication in the reshapingof civic culture in postmigrant societies.
