The Image of Cultures and Religions of Migrants from Africa in the Polish Media

Abstract

The media monitoring shows that the stereotypical image of Africa as a poor, politically and militarily unstable continent, in need of mostly humanitarian help, with excellent sportsmen, Catholic missions, and beautiful, wild nature is maintained. While informing about Africa, the media do not specify the national, ethnic or religious affiliation of Africans, except for individual, original, tragic or exotic events. Overall, Poles are still not interested in Africa and its people; a short, often laconic media message does not therefore raise objections or trigger a desire to learn more. African culture, science, and religions are underrepresented in the Polish media, with the exception of Islam, associated with terrorism and fundamentalism.
