'#Romaphobia in the UK Right-Wing Press: #racist & populist discourse during the #Brexit referendum'.
This important open-access article investigates contemporary expressions of racism toward Roma in the context of growing populism in the UK.
tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
The focus is on how & why #Romaphobia becomes widespread in times of socio-political crises, especially during the 2016 EU referendum, giving an in-depth account of how Roma migrants were represented in the billionaire-owned Sun & Mail during the 2016 so-called “Brexit” campaign.
The textual and visual analysis demonstrates how racist tropes about Roma identity and culture are embedded into populist rhetoric, often taking subtle forms of expression, yet simultaneously manage to avoid accusations of racism.
