*Description:*

Over the past three decades, the term ‘diaspora’ has been featured in 
many research studies and in wider theoretical debates in areas such as 
communications, the humanities, social sciences, politics, and 
international relations. The Handbook of Diasporas, Media, and Culture 
explores new dimensions of human mobility and connectivity—presenting 
state-of-the-art research and key debates on the intersection of media, 
cultural, and diasporic studies.

The Handbook presents contributions from internationally-recognized 
scholars and researchers to strengthen understanding of diasporas and 
diasporic cultures, diasporic media and cultural resources, and the 
various forms of diasporic organization, expression, production, 
distribution, and consumption.

The Handbook of Diasporas, Media, and Culture is ideal for undergraduate 
and graduate students, teachers, lecturers, and researchers in areas 
that focus on the relationship of media and society, ethnic identity, 
race, class and gender, globalization and immigration, and other 
relevant fields.
