Television, Ethnicity and Cultural Change (Comedia)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Television, Ethnicity and Cultural Change explores postmodern issues of migrancy and diasporic cultures.
Marie Gillespie's in-depth study, examining how television and video are being used to recreate cultural traditions within the "South Asian" diaspora in London, offers an invaluable survey of how cultures are shaped and changed through people's recreative reception of the media. Looking specifically at young people's preoccupation with television narratives, Gillespie discovers how they both reaffirm and challenge parental traditions, at the same time formulating their own aspirations towards cultural change.
Television, Ethnicity and Cultural Change is an important contribution to current debates in audience studies.
