Cultural Migrants from Japan - Youth, Media, and Migration in New York and London

Informationen zum Autor Yuiko Fujita is associate professor in the Institute for Media and Communications at Keio University. Klappentext Cultural Migrants from Japan examines how television, film, and the internet influences the mobility of young, middle-class Japanese youths who migrate to New York and London in order to 'make it' as artists. Intersecting long-term, multi-sited ethnography with emerging transnational and globalization theory, this book is a timely look at the emerging shift in concepts of national identity and migration.
