Since 1993, metaphorical language such as this has permeated mainstream media reporting on the United States' growing Latino population. In this groundbreaking book, Otto Santa Ana argues that far from being mere figures of speech, such metaphors produce and sustain negative public perceptions of the Latino community and its place in American society, precluding the view that Latinos are vested with the same rights and privileges as other citizens. Applying the insights of cognitive metaphor theory to an extensive natural language data set drawn from hundreds of articles in the Los Angeles Times and other media, Santa Ana reveals how metaphorical language portrays Latinos as invaders, outsiders, burdens, parasites, diseases, animals, and weeds. He convincingly demonstrates that three anti-Latino referenda passed in California because of such imagery, particularly the infamous anti-immigrant measure, Proposition 187. Santa Ana illustrates how Proposition 209 organizers broadcast compelling new metaphors about racism to persuade an electorate that had previously supported affirmative action to ban it. He also shows how Proposition 227 supporters used antiquated metaphors for learning, school, and language to blame Latino children's speech?rather than gross structural inequity?for their schools' failure to educate them. Santa Ana concludes by calling for the creation of insurgent metaphors to contest oppressive U.S. public discourse about minority communities. 606 $aHispanic Americans$xPublic opinion 606 $aHispanic Americans and mass media 606 $aDiscourse analysis$zUnited States$xPsychological aspects 606 $aDiscourse analysis$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aHispanic Americans$xPolitics and government$xPublic opinion 606 $aImmigrants$zUnited States$xPublic opinion 606 $aPublic opinion$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xEthnic relations$xPsychological aspects 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations$xPsychological aspects 615 0$aHispanic Americans$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aHispanic Americans and mass media. 615 0$aDiscourse analysis$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aDiscourse analysis$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aHispanic Americans$xPolitics and government$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aImmigrants$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aPublic opinion 676 $a305.868073 700 $aSanta Ana$b Otto$f1954-$0792714 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814920003321 996 $aBrown tide rising$91772754 997 $aUNINA
