But in countries where identity is defined more in ethnic terms, such as Germany, the presence of immigrants has only recently begun to be acknowledged. Taking these two countries as case studies, Immigration Dialectic explores the impact of immigration on national identity as imagined through media-based discourse.Harald Bauder argues that while both countries rely on negative depictions of immigrants to construct a positive image of the self, the ways in which Canada and Germany construct national identity in relation to representations of immigrants are significantly different. Bauder introduces a sophisticated framework of Hegelian dialectics for the growing interdisciplinary literature regarding media perspectives on immigration and national identity. Providing close analysis of themes such as belonging, economic impacts, and national security, Immigration Dialectic will appeal to anyone interested in contemporary discussions on immigration.Identity politicsGermanyIdentity politicsCanadaNationalismGermanyNationalismCanadaGermanyEmigration and immigrationCanadaEmigration and immigrationElectronic books.Identity politicsIdentity politicsNationalismNationalism325.43Bauder Harald1969-328618MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452255003321Immigration dialectic2221443UNINA$98.0012/08/2016Poli
