This is a review of the book Migration and the Media: Debating Chinese Migration to Italy, 1992–2012 by Gaoheng Zhang. Gaoheng Zhang’s book deals with Chinese migration to Italy as it was represented in the Italian media and in the Italy-based Chinese media between 1992 and 2012. It shows how journalists, business-people and politicians adopted one narrative rather than another about the Chinese migration to Italy, what sources they were based on, what narrative strategies they used, why they chose certain topics rather than others and how they debated publicly on this topic. Lastly, it analyses the legacy of this debate in contemporary Italian culture
