Reviews

This is an important book that fills a gap in the literature about the role of communication in facilitating diasporas' political participation in their countries of origin, host societies, and global politics. The book provides insightful analysis of the way diaspora communities use media to build transnational connections, based on fresh data collected among diaspora groups in Europe and the USA. The well-rounded analysis in each chapter heightens the book's relevance and contribution. Noha Mellor, Professor of Media, University of Sharjah, UAE This book is a must-read for those interested in the relationship between the Middle East, diaspora communities, and media post-2011. Its insightful analysis, drawn from media content analysis and interviews, fills a critical gap in our understanding of these complex relationships. The thought-provoking case studies shed light on media's impact on shaping and strengthening connections between communities, particularly diaspora communities based in Western countries. The comprehensive insights into the utilization of digital media for political action and collective mobilization make this book a valuable and necessary contribution to the discourse on the Middle East and its diaspora communities.
