Finding a Place: Migrant Children Using Media

Abstract

In this chapter and the next, we move from broad overviews of previous studies to more detailed analyses of data drawn from our own empirical research. Our focus here is on the diverse ways in which migrant children use media in the context of their everyday lives and relationships. This chapter presents some findings from our CHICAM project, looking at these children’s uses of media in different European national settings; while the next explores three individual case studies drawn from Liesbeth de Block’s earlier research with migrant children in London.
