Review Quotes: "This is a very timely and welcome collection of papers that breaks new ground in our understanding of various forms of public discourse on migration. Adopting a variety of modern critical discourse analytical approaches, the individual chapters, written by leading as well as rising scholars from diverse geographical backgrounds, weave together a rich tapestry of the complexity of migration representation in the authors' unique an original data sets." --Jan Chovanec, Masaryk University, Czech Republic
