Description
Media for diasporic communities have emerged in major cities to reflect a growing diversity of languages and populations. But do these media serve their respective communities exclusively, or are they available and accessible to members of society at large? Diasporic Media beyond the Diaspora explores structural and institutional challenges and opportunities for these media and suggests policy directions, with the aim of fostering broader intercultural dialogue. Using case studies of Korean media in Vancouver and Los Angeles, Sherry Yu examines the potential of an intercultural media system to contribute to our broader multiethnic and multilingual society.
