Abstract

Building on and expanding Myria Georgiou's theory of “hybrid imagined communities” and multilayered belonging, and the related concept of multilayered identities (Straubhaar, 2008), this chapter examines qualitatively the impact of media on identity construction in several diasporic populations in Austin, Texas. Specifically, it investigates the impacts of family generation, as well as their generation of immigration (whether they are a first-, second-, or third-generation immigrants), and language on the use of media in the construction of national identity. The evidence for the study derives from a series of interviews conducted in 2005–2016, building on a multiyear project to interview Austin families about their media use.
