In Southall - which has the largest population of 'South Asians' outside the Indian sub-continent - the VCR furnishes Hindi films, 'sacred soaps' such as the Mahabharata, and family videos of rites of passage, as well as mainstream American films. \u003cem\u003eTelevision, Ethnicity and Cultural Change\u003c\/em\u003e examines how TV and video are being used to recreate cultural traditions within the 'South Asian' diaspora, and how they are also catalysing cultural change in this local community.\u003cbr\u003eMarie Gillespie explores how young people negotiate between the parental and peer, local and global, national and international contexts and culturess which traverse their lives. Articulating their own preoccupations with television narratives, they both reaffirm and challenge parental traditions, formulating their own aspirations towards cultural change.\u003cbr\u003eMarie Gillespie's in-depth study offers an invaluable survey of how cultures are shaped and changed through people's recreative reception of the media.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marie Gillespie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 041509674X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415096744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Marie Gillespie","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086559883519,"sku":"9780415096744","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fa818cff-9591-49b9-bccb-554f1b43caec.jpg?v=1769095378","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/television-ethnicity-and-cultural-change-marie-gillespie-9780415096744","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
