This chapter discusses the diasporic experience of Iranians living in London (ILIL) & the roles the media can play in this experience. The media can help to integrate Iranians into British culture, make feelings of dislocation worse, bind Iranians to the global Iranian diaspora, or do a little of each. While ILIL do not constitute a single community, they are a "community in action," coming together for cultural events. They are also informally bound by different forms of media, eg, newspapers, women's & film magazines, & radio. This range of media contributes to the institutionalization of Iranian diasporas in different countries. Also found was a psychological shift occurring among some participants -- from viewing themselves as exiles who were eventually going back to Iran to immigrants who were building a new life for themselves in GB. A generational gap exists; older ILIL were more likely to be nostalgic for Iran, while the younger generation was already immersed in British culture, media, & education. The issue of identity is also discussed; there are differing views on how important the preservation of Persian is in maintaining an Iranian identity. A. Lee

The emerging global media system reveals the newest stage of class struggle under capitalism. The neoliberalist call for government deregulation of the media & communications markets is essentially a call for their "re-regulation" to serve corporate interests. With stunning speed, seven multinational corporations -- Disney, AOL-Time Warner, Sony, News Corporation, Viacom, Vivendi, & Bertelsmann -- have gained global domination. The second tier in media industries has quickly emerged gaining national & regional dominance. They form ties & joint ventures with the global oligopoly that allows the major giants to showcase local control while they exercise domination of politicians, promote pro-business policies, & expand the global media market, at the expense of large segments of local populations. The demise of public broadcasting, the inefficacy of Third World resistance, & the hidden fist of the US military reveal much about renewed imperialism & the challenge to political democracy, & highlight the need for socialists to defend social justice & democratic values through making media issues part of their political platforms.
