Description: "Is America's racial and ethnic diversity reflected in its broadcasting? The last decade of the twentieth century witnessed a maturing of ethnic communities in the United States and the emergence of multiculturalism as a dominant field of discourse in legal, educational, and cultural contexts. Vibert C. Cambridge discusses and analyzes the creation and proliferation of broadcasting outlets catering to this new American multicultural environment. Immigration, Diversity, and Broadcasting in the United States, 1990-2001 makes a timely contribution to our understanding of the web of relationships that existed at the intersection of immigration, race, ethnicity, and broadcasting in America during this period."--Jacket.
