Forced Migration & Media Mirrors looks at the relationship between media and forced migration from multiple dimensions particularly in the context of the Indian subcontinent. While bringing the North-East and Himalayan West Bengal in special focus, it also contains in-depth studies on Gujarat and Karnataka. Along with the empirical studies, theoretical questions are amply discussed in the section ‘Interrogating the Media’. A number of photo-essays enhance its richness and variety.
The authors include both accomplished academics and ace journalists, as noted under, who have been studying the phenomenon of forced migration for a long time in their own ways. In this respect, the book is an attempt to bridge the media-academia divide and is a result of a research on media and forced migration supported by the British Deputy High Commission, Kolkata.
