The 2008 Mumbai Attack and Press Nationalism: A Content Analysis of Coverage in the New York Times, Times of London, Dawn, and the Hindu (132 pp.) Director of Thesis: Joseph P. Bernt This study examines the New York Times, Times of London, Hindu, and Dawn coverage of the 2008 Mumbai attack. Since the U.S. and Britain had considerable interests in South Asia, the study used the framework of press nationalism to analyze the coverage. A content analysis of the coverage in the four newspapers suggests national interests were at work. The debate over the war and issues like religious unrest were different in the four newspapers. The Western press was unequivocal in condemning the war option; the coverage also reflected an agreement on issues like Kashmir and the War on Terror.

  • The Sikh Diaspora Global Diasporas Series Editor: Robin Cohen
    The Sikh diaspora Global diasporas Series Editor: Robin Cohen The assumption that minorities and migrants will demonstrate an exclusive loyalty to the nation-state is now questionable. Scholars of nationalism, international migration and ethnic relations need new conceptual maps and fresh case studies to understand the growth of complex transnational identities. The old idea of “diaspora” may provide this framework. Though often conceived in terms of a catastrophic dispersion, widening the notion of diaspora to include trade, imperial, labour and cultural diaporas can provide a more nuanced understanding of the often positive relationships between migrants’ homelands and their places of work and settlement. This book forms part of an ambitious and interlinked series of volumes trying to capture the new relationships between home and abroad. Historians, political scientists, sociologists and anthropologists from a number of countries have collaborated on this forward-looking project. The series includes two books which provide the defining, comparative and synoptic aspects of diasporas. Further titles, of which The Sikh diaspora is the first, focus on particular communities, both traditionally recognized diasporas and those newer claimants who define their collective experiences and aspirations in terms of a diasporic identity. This series is associated with the Transnational Communities Programme at the University of Oxford funded by the UK’s Economic and Social Research Council. Already published: Global diasporas: an introduction Robin Cohen New diasporas Nicholas Van Hear Forthcoming books include: The Italian labour diaspora Donna Gabaccia The Greek diaspora: from Odyssey to EU George Stubos The Japanese diaspora Michael Weiner, Roger Daniels, Hiroshi Komai The Sikh diaspora The search for statehood Darshan Singh Tatla © Darshan Singh Tatla 1999 This book is copyright under the Berne Convention.
