“…Lee and Ottati provide further evidence of this bias when they determined that Mexican citizens were more likely than US citizens to grant illegal Mexican immigrants privileges associated with US citizenship [11]. Basically, the argument that the local is more influential than the outsider is consistently reinforced by the scientific community [7,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

“…For example, Lindholm and Christianson found that Swedish students were more likely to mistakenly identify an innocent immigrant than they were to mistakenly identify an innocent Swede as the perpetrator during a line-up [9]. Additionally, Chiasson et al asked French Canadian students to rank eight ethnically diverse persons in terms of likability [10]. Students ranked the people that looked the most similar to them as more likable.…”

One of the most difficult aspects of persuading the public to support climate change policy is the lack of recognition that climate change will likely have a direct impact on an individual's life. Anecdotal evidence and arguments within the media suggest that those who are skeptical of climate change are more likely to believe that the negative externalities associated with climate change will be experienced by others, and, therefore, are not a concern to that individual. This project examines public perceptions of the health risk posed by climate change. Using a large national public opinion survey of adults in the United States, respondents were asked to evaluate the health risk for themselves, their community, the United States, and the world. The results suggest that individuals evaluate the risk for each of these contexts differently. Statistical analyses are estimated to identify the determinants of each risk perception to identify their respective differences. The implications of these findings on support for climate change policy are discussed.

“…Th e SIT attempts to identify the minimal conditions that would lead members of one group to discriminate in favor of the in-group to which they belonged and against another out-group (Tajfel and Turner 1986 ). In other words, once the boundaries are perceived as impermeable, individuals will display inter-group behavior that favors the in-group at the expense of the out-group (Chiasson et al 1996 ). Th e advantage of this approach is that it allows the social/urban context to become a major factor in triggering an individual to think, feel, and act on the basis of his personal, family, or ethnic 'level of self ' without the essentialist predisposition associated with the primordial ethnic/national identities.…”

Cultural Difference or Cultural Hegemony? Contextualizing the Danish Cartoon Controversy within Migration Spaces

This article will argue that the growing polarization between what is perceived as Western society and Muslim 'communities' can neither be analyzed as a clash between identities nor as a reflection of cultural differences. This polarization operates in a context of cultural hegemony, a sort of cultural logic of late capitalism, through which power and global capital are allied and where the migrants are either invisible or hyper-visible. I will take the example of the Danish cartoon episode as a controversy that reflects the cultural hegemony and power structure deployed against undesirable groups such as migrants living in Europe. Yet, to recall Antonio Gramsci, it is in this moment of crisis where migrants' agency will be in position to destabilize the hegemonic forces because migrants are not merely victims – they hold a responsibility toward their situation. After contextualizing this controversy within the migration space, I will argue that the controversy does not concern censorship and freedom of expression. It is a question of how one can define universalism. This has implications for how multiculturalism is perceived; this article argues that issues of multiculturalism and geopolitics cannot be detached from one another.
