About this book
This book captures Donald J. Trump's presidency by addressing the remarkable tropes that defined that period. It offers research-based investigations of the communicative aspects of Trump's presidency, with a focus on race, immigration, xenophobia, and social conflicts as they interact with communication.
The book utilizes research data to capture critical moments of the presidency. Chapters examine metadiscourse during President Trump's press events, where he accused the media of "Nasty Question" and "Fake News", offer computational framing analysis to expose the communication of racism and xenophobia in US-Mexico cross-border wall discourses, and provide critical textual analysis of select episodes of CW's critically acclaimed TV show Jane the Virgin, exposing how citizenship, or lack thereof shapes one's relationship to the state and surrounding communities. They also offer textual analysis to demonstrate how a predominantly White newsroom differs from a newsroom that is racially diverse, against the backdrop of the coverage of two politically charged issues of Black Lives Matter and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), and explore interdisciplinary concepts related to understanding immigrants' and sojourners' believability evaluation of disinformation.
Donald J. Trump's Presidency will be a key resource for scholars and researchers of communication studies, political communication, media and cultural studies, race and ethnic studies, and political science, while also appealing to anyone interested in the communicative aspects of Trump's presidency and American politics. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Howard Journal of Communications.
