“…The "South Asian" frame is a simple and familiar one for the American audience, as it is largely consistent with contemporary racial dynamics and how most white Americans think about Indonesians, Indians, Sri Lankans and Thai in the US racial classification system, immigrants and nationals of tsunami impacted South Asian countries have been classified in a "pan-ethnic" racial classification of "Asian", rather than by their nationality or ethnic origin (Boheme 1989;Espiritu 1992;Feagin 2000;Omi & Winant 1994;Takaki 1993). This "Asian" frame de-contextualizes cultural differences between groups and emphasizes physical similarities between members in an effort to simplify the cultural and historical differences as homogenous to the dominant white majority in the United States (Espiritu 1992;Feagin 2000;Halter 2006;Omi & Winant 1994;Portes & Rumbaut 2001). Of course, South Asians or Asians are not fully integrated into the dominant white racial hierarchy.…”

Crii Comqtcation e Feldd dd Sweden NORDICOM Nordicom's activities are based on broad and extensive network of contacts and collaboration with members of the research community, media companies, politicians, regulators, teachers, librarians, and so forth, around the world. The activities at Nordicom are characterized by three main working areas. • Media and Communication Research Findings in the Nordic CountriesNordicom publishes a Nordic journal, Nordicom information, and an English language journal, Nordicom review (refereed), as well as anthologies and other reports in both Nordic and English languages. Different research databases concerning, among other things, scientific literature and ongoing research are updated continuously and are available on the Internet. Nordicom has the character of a hub of Nordic cooperation in media research. Making Nordic research in the field of mass communication and media studies known to colleagues and others outside the region, and weaving and supporting networks of collaboration between the Nordic research communities and colleagues abroad are two prime facets of the Nordicom work. The documentation services are based on work performed in national documentation centres attached to the universities in Aarhus,
