Xenophobia and Racism
Critical Philosophy of Race 2 (1) (2014)
Abstract
Xenophobia is conceptually distinct from racism. Xenophobia is
also distinct from nativism. Furthermore, theories of racism are
largely ensconced in nationalized narratives of racism, often influenced
by the black-white binary, which obscures xenophobia and
shelters it from normative critiques. This paper addresses these
claims, arguing for the first and last, and outlining the second.
Just as philosophers have recently analyzed the concept of racism,
clarifying it and pinpointing why it’s immoral and the extent of its
moral harm, so we will analyze xenophobia and offer a pluralist
account of xenophobia, with important implications for racism.
This analysis is guided by the discussion of racism in recent moral
philosophy, social ontology, and research in the psychology of racism
and implicit attitudes.
