Conclusion. 520 $a This book analyses the politics of othering in the USA and Canada from the nineteenth century to the present day. It outlines the basis in human behaviour for 'disliking the unlike, which can take the form of ethnocentrism, racism and xenophobia, and shows how politicians take advantage of this human tendency. Seven case studies explore the use of political othering towards minority groups: Indigenous peoples, Jews, Japanese, those with left-wing views, LGBTQ individuals, Blacks, and Muslims. The book argues that prior to World War II, and with the significant exception of Blacks, the politics of othering was stronger in Canada than in the USA. After World War II, the situation reversed and the politics of othering was practiced more in the USA than in Canada. Lastly, the book explains how public policy and international issues prompted this change, discusses future trends in political othering, and offers ideas for promoting inclusion over othering. Allan Laine Kagedan served as the Director of National Security Operations in the Canadian public service. He has taught at McGill University and Carleton University, where he is currently a Research Affiliate. 650 0 $a Minorities $z Canada $x Social conditions $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Minorities $z United States $x Social conditions $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Other (Philosophy) 651 0 $a Canada $x Foreign relations. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations. 651 0 $a Canada $x Politics and government. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government. 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a Minorities $x Social conditions $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01023228 650 7 $a Other (Philosophy) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01048904 650 7 $a Politics and government $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a Canada $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 651 7 $a United States $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Case studies $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9783030524449 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526013555.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A5ED3772FFE911EBB6EAFDEE22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
