      abstract = {This book explores the lived experiences of African  immigrants in Australia, and the way they are represented  in the media. By delving into the group's everyday lives,  the book exposes the roles that media and social  perceptions play in the production and regulation of  diasporic identities. Rather than being presented as  objects of mediated representations, this book positions  African immigrants in Australia as empowered subjects. The  book employs inclusive research methods that make African  immigrants active participants in the research, rather than  passive objects. This is achieved through an expanded  demographic study, a snapshot survey, and by taking a  closer look at the lives of Africans in Australia through  digital oral histories. This approach allows the group to  have a say on how they feel they are positioned in society,  on what space they are offered, and on how this affects  their lives.},
