I have a new paper out! In it, we explore alt. news' reporting on Ukrainian refugees. We found that rather than being a threat, Islamophobic comparisons to Muslims were used to frame Ukrainian refugees as part of a white in-group: https://t.co/uUGXSNcQdc @digsum@MCSjournal
Finally, the analysis showed how Sweden is positioned in a complex juxtaposition: as something both good and bad; superior while also inferior; a great nationalist role model but also a warning example, and how Swedish whiteness plays a central role in these depictions.
...in ways that highly resembled those of the European far right. Such framing helps the international far right form a coherent narrative and all-applicable template for the problems of Muslims facing the Western world.
