This book examines how African, Asian, Middle Eastern and Latin
American diasporas use media to communicate among themselves and to
integrate into European countries. Whereas migrant communities
continue employing print and broadcasting technologies, the rapidly
growing applications of Internet platforms like social media have
substantially enriched their interactions. These communication
practices provide valuable insights into how diasporas define
themselves. The anthology investigates varied uses of media by
Ecuadorian, Congolese, Moroccan, Nepalese, Portugal, Somali, Syrian
and Turkish communities residing in Belgium, Germany, Italy, the
Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the UK. These studies are based on
research methodologies including big data analysis, content
analysis, focus groups, interviews, surveys and visual framing, and
they make a strong contribution to the emerging theory of diasporic
media.
This book offers empirical insight into the way Muslims reacted
online towards various controversial issues related to Islam. The
book examines four cases studies: The Muhammed's cartoons, the
burning of the Quran controversies, Fitna and the Innocence of
Muslims' films. The issues of online religion, social movements and
extremism are discussed, as many of the cases in question created
both uproar and unity among many YouTubers. These case studies - in
some instances - led to the expression of extremist views by some
users, and the volume argues that they helped contribute to the
growth of extremism due to the utilization of these events by some
terrorist groups in order to recruit new members. In the concluding
chapter, social network and sentiment analyses are presented in
order to investigate all the collected comments and videos, while a
critical discussion of freedom of expression and hate speech is
offered, with special regards to the growing online influence of
far right groups and their role in on-going YouTube debates.
