“…[...] He grows flowers there [laughing, possibly meaning marijuana]." The roles the participants assigned to, and the media narratives they created with, the Black African/Caribbean adult male with dreadlocks had some similarities with research that suggests that, in the US media discourse, African Americans are often portrayed as criminals who find themselves in difficult situations as a result of their own choices (Fabregat & Kperogi, 2019;Hart, 2013;Willet & Willet, 2013).…”

The article argues that, although digital and social media provide space and means for children's cosmopolitan citizenship, the tendency to reproduce cultural and ethnic stereotypes and prejudice prevalent in mainstream media can limit their capability and willingness to act and think as such. Drawing upon qualitative participatory research conducted with more than seventy children living in the Czech Republic, the article explores how children's media practice had a tendency to reproduce cultural hegemony. The paper ultimately argues that multicultural education and media education can together support children in reflecting on and challenging cultural hegemony, while at the same time potentially contribute to their transnational participation and cooperation with the use of digital and social media.

“…On this basis, Dekker and van der Noll (2009) observed that Muslims generally have high poverty levels, below average education, live in poorer areas of towns and cities, are overrepresented in low-wage jobs and have little access to standard healthcare. They share these situations with other minority communities such as blacks, Irish, Hindus, Boers and Latinos (Fabregat & Kperogi, 2018;Halliday, 1993). However, what makes Muslims stand out according to Perroco (2018), is that theirs "is the deepest, most acute and widely spread form of racism" (p. 26); in the words of Nazroo and Bécare (2017, p. 31), they "are repeatedly described as the social group most frequently discriminated against."…”

Minority communities across the globe are increasingly being targeted for vilification and demonization which consequently result in their marginalization and persecution, among other forms of physical, psychological, structural and cultural violence. These may be on account of race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disabilities or other demographic indicators—a phenomenon which summatively came to be known as hate speech/crime. When such violence ballooned beyond bearable level against the black community in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s, it triggered counteroffensive under the veneer of “white devil,” insighting the production of “How Hate Begets Hate” and Bigger Thomases of that world. In recent times, nowhere is such hate more pronounced than the one directed at the Muslim communities living in various countries of the West. Their framing as irrational, incompatible and security threat to the West has resulted in a number of stringent legislation/policies targeting them, beside organized violence by individuals and a propaganda industry feeding on this. This rising Islamophobia, as the study found, is a byproduct of historical experiences, fuelled contemporarily by the economic and political interests of individuals and organizations. Using qualitative content analysis and political economy as methodological and theoretical frameworks respectively, this study identifies the key players in heightening anti-Muslim sentiment in the West, as well as their motivations and strategy of public deception. It also explores the phases and causes of tension in West–Muslim relations, the role of media and the solution to this, among other things.
