Dogwhistles and Figleaves
How Manipulative Language Spreads Racism and Falsehood
How Manipulative Language Spreads Racism and Falsehood
Dogwhistles and Figleaves explores ways in which political discourse in recent years has become more openly racist, and accepting of wildly implausible conspiracy theories. Jennifer Saul shows how two linguistic devices, dogwhistles and figleaves, have played a crucial role in this, and have exploited and widened existing divisions in society.
