For the Turkish and Kurdish communities which reside outside their home countries, various transnational media have played a key role in maintaining, reviving and transforming ethnic and religious identities. A vital element is how these media outlets report and represent the ethno-national conflict between the Turkish state and the Kurdish PKK, and Janroj Yilmaz Keles here offers an examination of how Turkish and Kurdish migrants in Europe react to the myriad narratives that arise from this conflict. He looks at the intersection of local, national and transnational identities and how these are both affected by and reflected in the Turkish and Kurdish language media in Europe. Since the host states of these communities often see the proliferation of such media as an impediment to integration, Media, Diaspora and Conflict offers timely analysis concerning the nature of diasporas and the construction of identity.
