Garcia, who provide me with the love and support that enables me to pursue my dreams. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are many people who supported, encouraged, and challenged me throughout the completion of this project. First and foremost, I would like to thank my official cohort (Angela, Ashley, Chenoa, Dani, Kristen, Ricky, Sarah, Susan, and Vanessa), my fellow graduates (Art, Christopher B., Christopher R., Jaci, Jelena, Lex, Natasha, and Nick), and my GRC writing group (Sarah, Homer, and group facilitator Santhosh) for their support, commiseration and encouragement. Without the support and guidance of my committee, I would not have learned as much as I have throughout the dissertation process. First, I would like to thank Dr. Jan Schuetz for her support from coursework, to comps, and throughout the dissertation process. Without your theoretical knowledge and guidance, I would not have come to love theory in the way that I have in the past four years. Your knowledge has only been matched by the kindness and care you have extended to me over the course of my time at UNM. Second, I would like to thank Dr. David Weiss for his sharp eye for detail and encouragement to find the nuance in my analysis and language use. Thank you for agreeing to be a part of my committee on top of your duties to the department. Next, I would like to thank my two outside committee members: Dr. Eleuterio Santiago-Díaz and Dr. Adriana Ramírez de Arellano. A big thank you to Dr. Santiago- Díaz for graciously stepping in at a later stage of the project and sharing your expertise on Latina/os and race in the United States. Our discussion during the defense has given me much food for thought for upcoming projects and reminded me to foreground the question of race and ethnicity when examining the representation of Latina/os in the iv United States. To Dr. Ramírez de Arellano, your constant enthusiasm and support for my project has been invaluable during this process. Thank you also for sharing your phenomenal ability to connect concepts across disciplines and demonstrating the necessity of looking for the interconnected nature of information across law and culture. Your energy and vast knowledge have given me a new goal to achieve after graduate school; I want to one day inspire my students the way that you inspired me. Last, to Dr. Ilia Rodríguez, there are not enough words to express my gratitude for your patience, guidance, and generosity throughout my time at UNM. I appreciate all your time, encouragement, and also the room I had to discover my path. You are my model for being a strong mentor and advisor, both in the classroom and as I negotiated the complicated space of academia. Truly, I cannot put into words how much your mentorship has meant to me. Finally, I cannot leave out my family and friends for their unwavering support and love. To my best friend Tami, my Henderson family (Sammi, Ryan, Harrison, and Lucy), the Reuter-Dzarko household, the Hooley-Panagakis household, and the Anderssons, thank you for listening and providing me with places to escape. Last, thank you to my family: to the Graces (Laura, Dawn, and Simone) – thank you for your love, photos, good cheer, and positive thoughts; to Juan - for your humor (Fred says hello), understanding, and technical support; to my mom - for dropping everything to help when I needed you; and my dad - for listening, remembering, and sharing your experiences with me. v TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES ............................................................................................................ xii CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION ........................................................................................1 Significance of Research ..........................................................................................3 Young Immigrants and Immigration Policy: Historical Background ......................6 Chapter Outline ......................................................................................................10 CHAPTER 2: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK ..............................................................11 Social Constructionism and Discourse ..................................................................11 Discursive Formations ...........................................................................................14 Identity .......................................................................................................15 National Identity ........................................................................................18 The Concept of Citizenship ...........................................................21 Nation and Nationalism .............................................................................26 U.S. National Identity and The American Dream ..........................30 CHAPTER 3: LITERATURE REVIEW ...........................................................................32 Immigration as a Discursive Field .........................................................................32 Mexican Immigration as a Focal Point ......................................................34 California’s Proposition 187 ..........................................................39 Arizona’s Senate Bill 1070 ............................................................40 Mediated Discourses on Immigration ....................................................................44 Representation and Ideological Effects of Media ......................................44 Encoding/Decoding Model ............................................................48 Media Representation of National Identity ................................................54 Research on Media and Latina/o Immigration ...........................................60 Moral Panics ..............................................................................................63 CHAPTER 4: METHODS .................................................................................................71 Social Constructionism: Meaning Making, Discourse, and Power .......................71 Research Design and Procedures ...........................................................................73 Data Collection ..........................................................................................73 Sites of Study .................................................................................73 Data Sets. .......................................................................................75 Rationale for Research Design. ......................................................79 Research Questions and Definitions of Concepts ......................................80 Data Analysis .............................................................................................83 Frame Analysis ..............................................................................84 Narrative Analysis .........................................................................85 Thematic Analysis .........................................................................86 vi CHAPTER 5: ANALYSIS ................................................................................................88 Constructions of Citizenship, Immigrant Identity, and National Identity in President Obama’s Speech .....................................................................................89 Citizenship: Redefining Citizenship Through Cultural Belonging. ...........90 Cultural Citizenship .......................................................................90 Legal Citizenship ...........................................................................91

    Adapted from The Opposite of Hate: A Field Guide to Repairing Our Humanity by Sally Kohn © 2018 by Sally Kohn. Reprinted by permission of Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill. All rights reserved. INTRODUCTION What Is Hate: The Bully No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate. — Nelson Mandela A lot of people “know me” as a nice person in my public life, for being able to get along with even the people I vehemently disagree with. As a liberal commentator on Fox News for two years and now on CNN, I developed a reputation as a fierce progressive who is able to talk respectfully with conservatives, including extreme ones. I even gave a TED talk about how people with the most diametrically opposed views can practice what I call “emotional correctness” — holding ourselves accountable for talking to each other with respect and finding empathy for one another, no matter how strongly we disagree. Emotional correctness is about communicating compassion and mutual respect, not only with our words but with our intent and tone. I’m still an ardent fan, but I’ve been finding it increasingly difficult to practice, catching myself slipping into anger and swimming in hate. Especially in the last few years. I was sort of trained to hate. Before I became a television commentator, I worked for fifteen years as a community organizer, fighting for policy reform on issues like lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights, health care, criminal justice, and immigration.

  • Participatory Propaganda Model 1
    A PARTICIPATORY PROPAGANDA MODEL 1 Participatory Propaganda: The Engagement of Audiences in the Spread of Persuasive Communications Alicia Wanless Michael Berk Director of Strategic Communications, Visiting Research Fellow, SecDev Foundation Centre for Cyber Security and International [email protected] Relations Studies, University of Florence [email protected] Paper presented at the "Social Media & Social Order, Culture Conflict 2.0" conference organized by Cultural Conflict 2.0 and sponsored by the Research Council of Norway on 1 December 2017, Oslo. To be published as part of the conference proceedings in 2018. A PARTICIPATORY PROPAGANDA MODEL 2 Abstract Existing research on aspects of propaganda in a digital age tend to focus on isolated techniques or phenomena, such as fake news, trolls, memes, or botnets. Providing invaluable insight on the evolving human-technology interaction in creating new formats of persuasive messaging, these studies lend to an enriched understanding of modern propaganda methods. At the same time, the true effects and magnitude of successful influencing of large audiences in the digital age can only be understood if target audiences are perceived not only as ‘objects’ of influence, but as ‘subjects’ of persuasive communications as well. Drawing from vast available research, as well as original social network and content analyses conducted during the 2016 U.S. presidential elections, this paper presents a new, qualitatively enhanced, model of modern propaganda – “participatory propaganda” - and discusses its effects on modern democratic societies. Keywords: propaganda, Facebook, social network analysis, content analysis, politics A PARTICIPATORY PROPAGANDA MODEL 3 Participatory Propaganda: The Engagement of Audiences in the Spread of Persuasive Communications Rapidly evolving information communications technologies (ICTs) have drastically altered the ways individuals engage in the public information domain, including news ways of becoming subjected to external influencing.

University of Texas1 as a major victory for racial diversity. Yet Fisher may not be the last word on affirmative action as evidenced by the latest litigation against affirmative action at Harvard College and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). What is new about this latest go around? Asian Americans are the plaintiffs.2 Undoubtedly Justice Samuel Alito’s fiery 51-page dissent in Fisher is a blueprint for Students for Fair Admission (SFFA) in its lawsuit against Harvard College.

  • With Only a Few Exceptions, the References for the Obama Timeline Are Web Pages. Where Information Was Obtained from Magazines
    With only a few exceptions, the references for The Obama Timeline are Web pages. Where information was obtained from magazines, books, or newspapers, Web pages were tracked down that contained or confirmed the same information. The result is that anyone with the desire—and the time and the patience—to check the thousands of references can do so without leaving his or her computer. Unlike books, however, Web addresses and Web pages can be changed or deleted over time. It is therefore impossible to expect all the references appearing below to remain permanently accessible. (Obama supporters have also been known to “scrub” the Internet of Web pages that may be considered damaging to him.) In many cases, multiple sources have been listed in order to compensate for the eventual and unpreventable loss of some Web pages. Hopefully, most of the references will remain valid.
