“It's not just about the migrants.” Anti-immigrant discourse and co-opted marginality in the online public sphere by Emes, Claire Stravato

“…The research is based on a concurrent mixed-methods design based on semi-structured interviews (N=36) and a computer-aided content analysis of comments collected in online public forums of Singapore over six months (N= 399,599). The findings suggest that anti-immigrant discourse on social media is complex; the overt expression of negativity (xenophobia) competes with claims that engage the authorities’ responsibility and typify citizens’ fears of marginalization. …”
