Scholarship has expended relatively little effort to study the role of Islamophobia in the IRA’s propaganda campaign. Following critical disinformation research, this article demonstrates that Islamophobia, affect, and white identity played a crucial role in the IRA’s targeting of right-wing US voters. With an official release of tweets and associated visual content from Twitter, we use topic modeling and visual analysis to explore both how, and to what extent, the IRA used Islamophobia in its propaganda. To do so, we develop a multimodal distant reading technique to study how the IRA aligned users with contemporary far right social movements by deploying racial and emotional appeals that center on narrating a transnational white identity under threat from Islam and Muslims.","PeriodicalId":48345,"journal":{"name":"Ethnic and Racial Studies","volume":"197 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135476673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For Palestinians, return is associated with the liberation of Palestine, while for Israelis, it is part of Zionist foundational narratives. By explicating academic research and biographical literature, I consider how the concept of uncanny can further our understanding of what it means to return in this context, and beyond. Uncanniness brings attention to feelings of disorientation, strangeness, and not-at-homeness, and by approaching return as uncanny, I suggest, it is possible to tap into the volatility of “being-at-home” and thus unsettle exclusive and essentialist notions of belonging that define settler colonialism. Consequently, the article offers a way to consider return in a manner that gets from nostalgia to a new beginning and, in the settler colonial context of Palestine/Israel, from settler anxiety to decolonization.KEYWORDS: UncannyreturnbelongingPalestine/Israelsettler colonialismdecolonization AcknowledgementsI wish to thank the two anonymous reviewers whose feedback helped in sharpening the argument.

At the time, ethics approval was not required by Tampere University, but a discussion on research ethics can be found in the monograph.2 In addition to the refugees displaced in 1948, there is a multi-layered Palestinian exile whose possibility to return can be as precarious. However, their return does not hold similar national sentiments of liberation as that of the 1948 refugees, whose would return to places that currently constitute the state of Israel. In this article, while discussing return in general, the focus is on the transformative force associated with the return of 1948 refugees.3 Flight from uncanniness is, to be exact, a modus operandi for everyone (see, Withy Citation2015, 96–98), as for Heidegger, it is part of the ontology of being. Here, however, I hope to underline how it defines the political reality of settler colonialism.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Academy of Finland [grant number 322025] and by Kone Foundation grant.","PeriodicalId":48345,"journal":{"name":"Ethnic and Racial Studies","volume":"21 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135868354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In education, the issue of curriculum – and particularly the history curriculum – has been at the centre of campaigns to “decolonise the curriculum”. While barriers to the teaching of “diverse” British histories in England’s classrooms have long been recognised, relatively little research has been done on the crucial role of history teacher educators and teacher training in developing a diverse profession, practice, and curriculum. This paper seeks to address these gaps through analysis of interviews with history teacher educators, trainee history teachers and key stakeholders. In particular, it explores the responses of history teacher educators to recent calls for curriculum reform, charts how these demands for change have influenced thinking and practice in Initial Teacher Education (ITE) in history and identifies ongoing challenges to the development of more inclusive curriculum and pedagogic practice.","PeriodicalId":48345,"journal":{"name":"Ethnic and Racial Studies","volume":"121 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135810218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article explores the historical genealogies of Qur’an desecration – a transnational phenomenon – that emerged in the wake of the post-9/11 ‘Global War on Terror’. In Norway, public Qur’an burnings have been integral to the strategies of the far-right organization Stop the Islamisation of Norway (SIAN) since 2019. Inspired by Titley’s notion of far-right “free speech capture”, we demonstrate that Qur’an burning functions as a powerful symbolic means to incite hatred against Islam and Muslims in the name of “free speech”. We contend that Qur’an burning in the Norwegian context lies at the intersection between transnational and national flows and modalities of Islamophobia.KEYWORDS: Qur’an desecrationQur’an burningfreedom of expressionIslamophobiaMuslimsNorway Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Ethics statementApproval of the research ethics of this study, provisionally entitled INTERSECT: The Hate Speech v.

The attacks came just months after the publication of leaked documents from national party officials calling Islam a “virus” and vowing to stop its “contagion.” Using discourse analysis of posts regarding Ma from January and February 2020, this paper examines how online discussion of Ma exemplifies Islamophobic attitudes of netizens and illuminate the exclusory ethnic politics that unfold in the process of national boundary setting in China.
