Following the Arab Spring, massive migrations of people from the Middle East, Asia, and Africa have arrived in Europe. The humanitarian crisis was dubbed a "Migration Crisis" by the western media, and it was projected as a threat to Europe. The mainstream media and European states together made the displaced people ‘migrants’ who cannot deserve the natural right of a regular citizen. How media and conflicts make migrants by Kirsten Forkert, Federico Oliveri, Gargi Bhattacharyya and Janna Graham examines how ‘global conflict’ has been constructed through media representations. The book focuses on the United Kingdom and Italy, two countries that have been hit by a wave of refugees and whose citizens are wary of European institutions. The book is the outcome of an AHRC-funded research project entitled Conflict, Memory, and Displacement.
