Chapters address the music of neo-Nazi white power groups, fear perpetuated through the social construct of black masculinity in a racially hegemonic society, the terror and racial cleansing in early twentieth-century Arkansas, the fear of drug-addicted Vietnam War veterans, the creation of fear by the Tang Dynasty, and more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Timely, provocative, and rigorously researched, \u003ci\u003eHistoricizing Fear\u003c\/i\u003e shows how the Othering of members of different ethnic groups has been used to propagate fear and social tension, justify state violence, and prevent groups or individuals from gaining equality. Broadening the context of how fear of the Other can be used as a propaganda tool, this book will be of interest to scholars and students of history, anthropology, political science, popular culture, critical race issues, social justice, and ethnic studies, as well as the general reader concerned with the fearful framing prevalent in politics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors: \u003cbr\u003e Quaylan Allen, Melanie Armstrong, Brecht De Smet, Kirsten Dyck, Adam C.
