Summary:

Owing to increased migration from the 1990's, Nordic countries have gone through substantial cultural and social changes, resulting in increased debate surrounding the politics of multiculturalism. By drawing on the latest research surrounding the relationship between media and migration in this area, this collection will provide key insights to those working in the fields of media, race and ethnicity, colonialism and postcolonial studies, and migration.
