This book analyses the political, economic & environmental contexts of migration & looks specifically at how refugees & asylum seekers have been stigmatised in political rhetoric & in media coverage. Through forensic research it shows how hysterical & inaccurate media accounts act to legitimise political action, which can have terrible consequences both on the lives of refugees & also on established migrant communities. Based on new research by the renowned Glasgow Media Group, Bad News for Refugees is essential reading for those concerned with the negative effects of media on public understanding & for the safety of vulnerable groups & communities in our society.
