Abstract
ABSTRACT This qualitative study examines 16 Muslim parents’ communication with their children after Donald Trump’s electoral victory and amidst increasing Islamophobic and anti-Muslim rhetoric in the United States. Our analysis highlights communication interactions, informed by participants’ perceived demonization of Muslims in media and political discourses, intended to counter negative stereotypes and cultivate strength, confidence, and belonging in their children. Drawing on cultural identity theory, we theorize pre-emptive avowals and ascriptions to describe participants’ communication labor to cultivate resistance in their children to Islamophobia and various forms of racism. We conclude by considering unique and intersectional communication labor in minoritized families and discussing directions for future research.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Applied Communication Research publishes original scholarship that addresses or challenges the relation between theory and practice in understanding communication in applied contexts. All theoretical and methodological approaches are welcome, as are all contextual areas. Original research studies should apply existing theory and research to practical solutions, problems, and practices should illuminate how embodied activities inform and reform existing theory or should contribute to theory development. Research articles should offer critical summaries of theory or research and demonstrate ways in which the critique can be used to explain, improve or understand communication practices or process in a specific context.
