Abstract:

This edited volume explores how migrant identities are created and
constructed in discourse both by migrants themselves and by others.
The contributors reveal how migrant identities are discursively
constructed by those with lived experiences of mobility and those who
view themselves as part of the 'host' population. This dual focus
responds to a lack of previous research examining migration
representation from both perspectives. Readers will discover how the
discursive constructions of migrant identities in different domains
relate to one another.
The case studies include a broad range of text types from film,
government documents and narrative accounts to newspapers and Twitter.
They also cover a wide range of contexts including Argentina,
Australia, Italy, Romania, and UK, making this is a more comprehensive
account of the framing of migration than has been previously
accomplished. The chapters all follow the same structure to help the
reader learn how to investigate migration discourses using qualitative
and quantitative (critical) discourse analytic approaches.
