From twenty-four-hour radio and television programming in Turkish, to local public access programs, to the satellite dishes that bring Kurdish channels and broadcasts from Turkey into immigrant households, Germany's largest immigrant minority has made its presence felt in German media. In this innovative and thought-provoking study, Kira Kosnick explores the landscape of Turkish-language broadcasting in Berlin, elaborating a new approach to "migrant media" in relation to the cultural and political spaces through which immigrant life is imagined and created. Migrant media are often celebrated for their emancipatory potential to voice minority interests and cultural identity beyond the boundaries of the nation, but Kosnick describes a more complex set of opportunities and representational dilemmas. Far from being a local phenomenon, Turkish migrant broadcasting operates in a transnational field in which the German state seeks to mobilize civic multiculturalism at the same time that the Turkish state reaches out to migrants as citizens abroad. Migrant broadcasters respond to both state projects. Kosnick examines media representations of ethnic difference and the politics of multicultural programming in relation to wider debates about citizenship, Islam, and national belonging. Book jacket.
