This book brings together contributions that analyse different ways
in which migration and xenophobia have been mediated in both
mainstream and social media in Africa and the meanings of these
different mediation practices across the continent. It is premised
on the assumption that the media play an important role in
mediating the complex intersection between migration, identity,
belonging, and xenophobia (or what others have called Afrophobia),
through framing stories in ways that either buttress stereotyping
and Othering, or challenge the perceptions and representations that
fuel the violence inflicted on so-called foreign nationals. The
book deals with different expressions of xenophobic violence,
including both physical and emotional violence, that target the
foreign Other in different African countries.
