Understanding Ethnic Media: Producers, Consumers and Societies

摘要

The global significance and importance of media communications in the everyday lives of those groups who have been marginalized, excluded, segregated and enslaved cannot be underestimated. The documentation and illustration of the struggles that have taken place in the establishment of such media are important to acknowledge, for example in the USA the development of the African American press began 40 years before slavery was officially abolished and only a year before Native Americans began publishing newspapers in 1828, which was later followed by the establishment of the first Chinese American newspaper, the Golden Hills News.
