| Summary |
This anthology examines how immigrants and their US-born children use media to negotiate their American identity and how audiences engage with mediated narratives about the immigrant experience (cultural adjustments, language use, and the like). Where this work diverges from other collections and monographs is the area is its intentional focus on how both first- and second-generation Americans complex identities and hybrid cultures interact with mediated narratives in general, alongside the extent to which these narratives reflect their experience. In a three-part structure, the collection examines representations, zooms in to explore the reception of these narratives through autoethnographic essays, and concludes in a section of analysis and critique of specific media. Omotayo O. Banjo is Associate Professor at the University of Cincinnati, USA. As a researcher, she focuses on representation and audience responses to racial and cultural media. Her work has been published in several peer reviewed journals, including among them Race and Social Problems and Communication Theory. She is the editor of Media Across the African Diaspora: Content, Audiences, and Influence and, with Kesha Morant Williams, co-editor of Contemporary Christian Culture: Messages, Missions, and Dilemmas |
