You argue that "xenophobia is a rational matter", but don’t you think that this fear or discrimination of "the stranger" is an emotional response What I meant is that many critiques of xenophobia see it as an emotional reaction. It has not disappeared. But xenophobic sentiments are often reasoned out too. The New Xenophobia offers a fresh perspective on the rise of ethnic, cultural, and religious politics in today’s age of globalisation. So xenophobia, like any other complex human response, contains both what we call emotion and reason. He also examines the three "isms"— racism, nationalism and China Rosary Keychain Manufacturers Nazism — that are commonly associated with outbreaks of xenophobia. Or, as happened during Nazi times, we construct a people (say, "Jews") using the image of dangerous, sneaky snakes — and we strike at the people. But old forms of racism are relatively rare in developed, rich European states; current European reasons for keeping out "foreigners" are abstract and abstractly economic, not overtly racist in most cases. Is that because of the economic crisis or the "refugee crisis" which is being given the loaded term "migrant" crisis. He argues that this exaggerated fear and hatred of the "stranger" results in their curtailment and even elimination at times. Prophet cartoons, France’s ban on the burqa and veil, Hungary saying that it will not accept large-scale Muslim migration , you say, are instances of "new xenophobia". For every xenophobic German or Frenchman, there is at least one German or Frenchman who is open to strangers, including Muslims.

It is an exaggerated and excessive fear. In European welfare states, this is compounded by the fact that these welfare states are rich because their capital circulates with very little impediment all over the globe, but they cannot permit global labour the same kind of freedom — this is contrary to the classical definition of capitalism as "free circulation of capital, goods and labour". So, in that sense, "no one is a racist" in these countries, but of course, xenophobia persists, and sometimes impacts on the old victims in new ways. This has to do with power, an unfair bid at power. That is xenophobia. People have the right to decide what sort of society to live in, but no society has stayed fixed or will stay fixed. And it has not totally disappeared even in European welfare states.), but they are often considered abstract "economic migrants" (not refugees, as you rightly point out) in Europe — because the stranger that high capitalist European xenophobes fear more is the worker entering their artificially protected welfare spaces.You write that "new xenophobia" is mainly restricted to Europe.The New Xenophobia explains how xenophobia is linked to power and capitalism and what makes contemporary xenophobia "new".
