In contemporary media cultures, media are part of the most important 
sites where collective representations and narrations of a post‐migrant 
civic culture are (re‐)negotiated. At the same time, they offer powerful 
resources and instruments for civic participation and collaboration. 
Media and Participation in Post‐Migrant Societies addresses an important 
shortcoming in the research on participation in media cultures by 
introducing a special focus on post-migrant conditions to the discussion 
– both as conceptual refinements and as empirical studies. The 
contributions of this book provide diverse analyses of the conditions, 
possibilities, but also constraints for participation and the role of 
media communication in the reshaping of civic culture in post‐migrant 
societies.

Review

"This edited volume is a welcomed contribution to the multidisciplinary 
crossing of media and migration studies as it explores two recently 
introduced terms – conviviality and post-migrant societies – from media 
studies perspectives. This book offers an exciting starting point to 
examine different local, national and diasporic contexts through the 
notion of post-migration, a discussion that has started in Germany." --
