Abstract

Cosmopolitan urban centers such as London with their rich mix of peoples, cultures, and languages are the site of multiple crossroads: not an intersection between a singular local and global road but a meeting point of different places, peoples, and affiliations. The issue is no longer the relationship between a “host” community and the newcomer, but how people from many different parts of the world interact with each other both locally and globally. In this chapter we aim to address these multiple crossroads and the specific role that media consumption and production can play in children’s experiences of them (de Block and Buckingham, 2007).
