Global Children, Global Media: Migration, Media and Childhood is the title of a new book by Liesbeth de Block and David Buckingham, published by Palgrave. Read on for details.
Children today are growing up in a world of
global media. Many have also become global citizens, through their experience
of migration and transnational networks. Global Children, Global Media provides
a comprehensive critical review of research and debate in the overlapping
fields of media, globalization, migration and childhood. It also presents
empirical research, using innovative visual methods, in which children's voices
are featured prominently and directly. By representing these issues from the
perspective of children, the book casts new light on established academic
debates about cultural identity, diaspora and transnationalism, and addresses
questions about social cohesion, belonging and citizenship that are of
considerable concern in contemporary public and political debate. Global
Children, Global Media will provide insights both for scholars and researchers,
and for educators and media practitioners who work directly with children and
young people in this field.
