Racism and Nationalism After 9-11
More than a decade after 9/11, a retrospective view of racism and nationalism in America might points to a reverse J-curve—at least in the private realm of most people living in the USA. Governmental and political reactions may still run at fevered pace, and some would say the devastation has been insidious, seeping far beyond the bounds of the attack zones. "Ten years has given us time to see the tidal waves of post-9/11 changes in our society and our world. For all the tragedy of 9/11 with the thousands killed on that day, the after-effects are far more troubling" (Rashid, 2011, 754.) Conventional wisdom has it that racism and nationalism are flip sides of the same coin. If this tack is taken, the simultaneous rise in nationalism and racism following 9/11 makes sense—so too, does the rise of patriotism. Though reactions varied widely, overall, Americans exhibited heightened expressions of national solidarity and racism directed at those who resembled—or could be mistaken for—radical Islamists. The brand of racism that arose after 9/11 can fairly be termed Islamophobia.
