| Sumario: | This chapter offers a preliminary analysis of the recent boom in specialized media produced, distributed, and consumed by migrant communities in Spain, focusing on the way identity and politics are represented in these media and questioning their prospects of opening up new avenues for democratization of the Spanish mediascape. We adhere to Husband’s call to address the democratization of the media as an extension of the challenges of democratizing multicultural societies. Even if according to Husband the very existence of migrant minority media is a perceptible sign of democratization, questions remain about the ‘right to be understood’, a crucial objective to advance such a process of democratization (Husband, 1996) |
