[Commlist] New Book (available as OpenAccess eBook): Images of Immigrants and Refugees in Western Europe. Media Representations, Public Opinion and Refugees’ Experiences

IMAGES OF IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES IN WESTERN EUROPE
Media Representations, Public Opinion and Refugees’ Experiences

Edited by Leen d’Haenens, Willem Joris, and François Heinderyckx

The topic of migration has become particularly contentious in national 
and international debates. Media have a discernable impact on overall 
societal attitudes towards this phenomenon. Polls show time and again 
that immigration is one of the most important issues occupying people’s 
minds. This book examines the dynamic interplay between media 
representations of migrants and refugees, on the one hand, and the 
governmental and societal (re)actions to these on the other. Largely 
focusing on Belgium and Sweden, this collection of interdisciplinary 
research essays attempts to unravel the determinants of people’s 
preferences regarding migration policy, expectations towards newcomers, 
and economic, humanitarian and cultural concerns about immigration’s 
effect on the majority population’s life. Whilst migrants and refugees 
remain voiceless and highly underrepresented in the legacy media, this 
volume allows their voices to be heard.
