Migrants and Natives - ′Them′ and ′Us′: Mainstream and Radical Right Political Rhetoric in Europe
Про цю електронну книгу
Grounded in a focussed, comparative critical discourse study that draws on methods from social science and linguistics, the book:
- Presents a study of political rhetoric on migration in several European countries over the past thirty-five years, drawing out similarities and differences.
- Explores anti-immigration rhetoric before and after the 2015 refugee/solidarity crisis.
- Illuminates the role of so-called ‘mainstream’ parties in developing and legitimising discriminatory rhetoric.
Exposing the insidious nature of malevolent political rhetoric and its consequences, this book is a timely and essential read.
