Deep Dive with Shawn C. Fettig

CHAPTER

The Politics of Othering in America

This chapter examines the evolution of 'othering' in America, particularly post-9/11, with a focus on how political rhetoric has marginalized Muslims and immigrants. It highlights the impact of legislation, like the Patriot Act, and the transformation of the Republican Party's stance on immigration, shaping public perception into one of fear and hostility. Additionally, the chapter addresses the anti-LGBTQ sentiment within conservative politics, connecting these strategies to broader sociopolitical consequences and legislative trends targeting marginalized communities.
