Abstract


This article describes the identity creation that emerges among young people who have emigrated to London searching for work. The discourse and imaginary arising from the general media and self-representations of young people are analysed, with a view to understanding how identity is negotiated in an interconnected global context, with media arbitration and where the nation state has lost its monopoly over the construction of images of identity.
