Index Summary Collateral Damage provides an overview of how political communication influences the process of incorporation with the broad society as well as its political parties. Sean Richey shows that how politicians talk about immigrants affects how their children perceive America and their feelings about the nation. These perceptions and feelings in turn greatly influence the children's desire to incorporate into American political society. He also shows that regardless of a speaker's intended outcome, what is said can still have a deleterious effect on incorporation desire, a communicative process that he terms "collateral damage." Richey uses new experimental and survey evidence, as well as the rhetoric of Donald Trump as a test case, to examine how anti-immigration communication influences the incorporation of the children of immigrants Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 148-150) and index Notes This work is licensed under the Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International License Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-NoDerivatives https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 Description based on information from the publisher Subject Rhetoric -- Political aspects -- United States Children of immigrants -- Political aspects -- United States Internalization -- Political aspects -- United States Communication in politics -- United States SOCIAL SCIENCE / General Communication in politics Emigration and immigration -- Political aspects Politics and government Rhetoric -- Political aspects SUBJECT United States -- Emigration and immigration -- Political aspects United States -- Politics and government. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85140410 Subject United States Genre/Form Electronic books Form Electronic book Author Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan), publisher.
