== Alternative definitions ==
A review article on xenophobia holds that it is "an element of a political struggle about who has the right to be cared for by the state and society: a fight for the collective good of the modern state.

According to Italian sociologist Guido Bolaffi, xenophobia can also be exhibited as an "uncritical exaltation of another culture" which is ascribed "an unreal, stereotyped and exotic quality".<ref name="auto" />

== History ==

===Ancient Africa===
In [[Ancient Egypt]], foreigners were conceived of through a complex xenophobic discourse. Given ancient Egypt's long history, Egyptians encountered a number of different peoples. Peoples living in present-day [[Greece]], [[Sudan]], and [[Turkey]], for instance, were referred to by various names in [[Egyptian language|Egyptian]]. According to one source, "...all the names have at the end the same hieroglyphic sign– a determinative or [[taxogram]]– indicating the word group. This is the hieroglyph for a hilly country or the desert– indicating 'foreign land' (khaset)...By contrast, Egypt (Kemet/Black land) is written with the determinative for a town. This indicates that Egyptians regarded their part of the world as cultivated, ordered and civilized, while the other countries were not."<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Cornelius |first1=Sakkie |title=Ancient Egypt and the Other |journal=Scriptura: Journal for Biblical, Theological and Contextual Hermeneutics |date=2010 |volume=104± |page=322 |doi=10.7833/104-0-174|hdl=10019.1/103151 |hdl-access=free }}</ref> This indicates an early example of a xenophobic attitude towards other peoples. In addition, ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics indicate xenophobic ideas about a necessity to conquer non-Egyptians, with [[Hittites]] in particular being referred to as "vile".<ref>{{cite book |last1=Müller-Wollermann |first1=R |last2=Zimmerman |first2=M |title=Symbolische Gewalt im Alten Ägypten.

===Ancient Europe===

An early example of xenophobic sentiment in [[Western culture]] is the [[Ancient Greece|Ancient Greek]] denigration of foreigners as "[[barbarian]]s", the belief that the [[Greeks|Greek people]] and [[Culture of Greece|culture]] were superior to all other peoples and [[culture]]s, and the subsequent conclusion that barbarians were naturally meant to be [[Slavery|enslaved]].<ref name="GreeksBarbarians">{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=z3VmQB99c5YC |title=Greeks and Barbarians |publisher=Taylor & Francis |author=Harrison, Thomas |year=2002 |page=3 |isbn=978-0-415-93959-1}}</ref>

Black Africans were considered especially exotic, and perhaps they were considered threateningly alien, so they are seldom if ever mentioned in Roman literature without some negative connotations. The historian [[Appian]] claims that the military commander [[Marcus Junius Brutus]], before the [[battle of Philippi]] in 42BC, met an 'Ethiopian' outside the gates of his camp: his soldiers instantly hacked the man to pieces, taking his appearance for a bad omen—to the superstitious Roman, black was the colour of death."<ref>{{cite book |last1=of Alexandria |first1=Appian |title=The Civil Wars |page=4.17}}</ref>

Peter Szok argues that when the United States brought in large numbers of laborers from the Caribbean—called "[[Afro-Panamanians]]"—to build the [[Panama Canal]] (1905–1914), xenophobia emerged. The local elite in Panama felt its culture was threatened: they cried out, "La Patria es el Recuerdo." ("The Homeland is the Memory") and developed a Hispanophile elitist identity through an artistic literary movement known as "Hispanismo." Another result was the election of the "overtly nationalist and anti-imperialist" [[Arnulfo Arias]] as president in 1940.<ref>Peter Szok,  "'La Patria es el Recuerdo', Hispanophile Nationalism in Early Twentieth-Century Panama, 1903–1941."

=====The Boxers=====
{{Main|Boxer Rebellion}}
The [[Boxer Rebellion]] was a violent anti-foreign, [[Persecution of Christians#China|anti-Christian]], and [[anti-imperialist]] uprising which occurred in China between 1899 and 1901. It was led by a new group, the ‘Militia United in Righteousness', the group was popularly known as the ''[[Boxers (group)|Boxers]]'' because many of its members had practiced [[Chinese martial arts]], at the time, these martial arts were popularly referred to as Chinese Boxing.  After China's defeat in war by Japan in 1895, villagers in North China feared the expansion of [[Spheres of influence#China|foreign spheres of influence]] and resented the extension of privileges to Christian missionaries. In a severe drought, Boxer violence spread across [[Shandong]] and the [[North China Plain]], destroying foreign property, attacking or murdering Christian missionaries and [[Christianity in China|Chinese Christians]]. In June 1900, Boxer fighters, convinced that they were invulnerable to foreign weapons, converged on [[Beijing]], and their slogan was "Support the Qing government and exterminate the foreigners." Diplomats, missionaries, soldiers and some Chinese Christians took refuge in the diplomatic [[Beijing Legation Quarter|Legation Quarter]]. They were besieged for 55 days by the Imperial Army of the Chinese government and the Boxers. George Makari says that the Boxers, "promoted a violent [[hatred]] of all those from other lands and made no effort to distinguish the beneficent from the rapacious ones.... They were unabashedly xenophobic."<ref>George Makari, ''Of Fear and Strangers: A History of Xenophobia'' (2021), pp 70–71.</ref> The Boxers were overthrown by an [[Eight Nation Alliance]] of American, Austro-Hungarian, British, French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Russian troops—20,000 in all—that invaded China to lift the siege in August 1900.  The allies imposed the [[Boxer Protocol]] in 1901, with a massive annual cash indemnity to be paid by the Chinese government. The episode generated worldwide attention and denunciation of xenophobia.<ref>Makari, ''Of Fear and Strangers: A History of Xenophobia'' (2021), ch 4, 5.</ref><ref>Paul A. Cohen, '' History in Three Keys: The Boxers as Event, Experience, and Myth'' (1998).</ref>

===== Chinese nationalism and xenophobia =====
Historian [[Mary C. Wright]] has argued that the combination of [[Chinese nationalism]] and xenophobia had a major impact on the Chinese worldview in the first half of the 20th century. Examining the bitterness and hatred which existed towards [[Americans]] and [[Demographics of Europe|Europeans]] in the decades before the [[Chinese Communist Revolution|Communist takeover in 1949]], she argues:<blockquote>The crude fear of the white peril that the [[Qing dynasty|last imperial dynasty]] had been able to exploit in the Boxer Rebellion of 1900 had been submerged but not overcome, and expanding special privileges of foreigners were irritants in increasingly wide spheres of Chinese life. These fears and irritations provided a mass sounding board for what otherwise might have been rather arid denunciations of imperialists. It is well to remember that both Nationalists and Communists have struck this note.<ref>Mary C.  Wright, "Modern China in Transition, 1900–1950."

A number of discriminatory laws against [[Chinese Indonesian#Post-independence and New Order Era|Chinese Indonesians]] were enacted by the government of [[Indonesia]]. In 1959, President [[Sukarno]] approved [[PP 10/1959]] that forced Chinese Indonesians to close their businesses in rural areas and relocate into urban areas. Moreover, political pressures in the 1970s and 1980s restricted the role of the Chinese Indonesian in politics, academics, and the military. As a result, they were thereafter constrained professionally to becoming entrepreneurs and professional managers in trade, manufacturing, and banking. In 1998, [[May 1998 riots of Indonesia|Indonesia riots]] over higher food prices and rumors of hoarding by merchants and shopkeepers often degenerated into anti-Chinese attacks.<ref>{{Cite web |date=25 November 2016 |title=Jakarta's violent identity crisis: behind the vilification of Chinese-Indonesians |url=http://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/nov/25/jakarta-chinese-indonesians-governor-ahok |website=[[The Guardian]] |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Schonhardt |first=Sara |date=26 November 2016 |title=In Indonesia, Fears Rise Among Ethnic Chinese Amid Blasphemy Probe |language=en-US |work=[[The Wall Street Journal]] |url=http://www.wsj.com/articles/in-indonesia-fears-rise-among-ethnic-chinese-amid-blasphemy-probe-1480161601 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20220213045340/https://www.wsj.com/articles/in-indonesia-fears-rise-among-ethnic-chinese-amid-blasphemy-probe-1480161601 |archive-date=13 February 2022 |issn=0099-9660 |access-date=1 May 2022 }}</ref>

The racial tension between the dominant poor [[Malaysian Malays|Malay Muslims]] and the minority wealthier Chinese has long characterized Malaysia.

Recently the goal of creating a more inclusive national identity has been emphasized.<ref>Amy L.

There were recorded well over a hundred antisemitic attacks in [[Belgium]] in 2009. This was a 100% increase from the year before. The perpetrators were usually young males of immigrant background from the Middle East. In 2009, the Belgian city of [[Antwerp]], often referred to as Europe's last [[shtetl]], experienced a surge in antisemitic violence. [[Bloeme Evers-Emden]], an Amsterdam resident and [[Auschwitz]] survivor, was quoted in the newspaper ''[[Aftenposten]]'' in 2010: "The antisemitism now is even worse than before the [[The Holocaust|Holocaust]].

The period after Germany's loss of [[World War I]] led to the increased espousal of [[Antisemitism|anti-Semitism]] and other forms of racism in the country's political discourse, for example, emotions which were initially expressed by members of the right-wing [[Freikorps]] finally culminated in the ascent of [[Adolf Hitler]] and the [[Nazi Party]] in 1933. The [[Racial policy of Nazi Germany|Nazi Party's racial policy]] and the [[Nuremberg Laws|Nuremberg Race Laws]] against Jews and other non-[[Aryan race|Aryans]] represented the most explicit racist policies in twentieth century Europe. These laws deprived all Jews (including half-Jews and quarter-Jews) and all other non-Aryans of German citizenship. The official title of Jews became "subjects of the state". At first, the Nuremberg Race Laws only forbade racially mixed sexual relationships and marriages between Aryans and Jews but later they were extended to "[[Romani people|Gypsies]], [[Black people|Negroes]] or their bastard offspring".<ref name="Burleigh1991">{{cite book |first=Michael |last=Burleigh |title=The Racial State: Germany 1933–1945 |date=7 November 1991 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-0-521-39802-2 |page=[https://archive.org/details/racialstate00mich/page/49 49] |url=https://archive.org/details/racialstate00mich/page/49 }}</ref> Such interracial relationships were known as "racial pollution" [[Rassenschande]], and they became a criminal and punishable offence under the race laws.<ref name="Burleigh1991" /><ref>{{cite book |first=S.

==== Italy ====
{{Main|Racism in Italy}}

A new party emerged in the 1980s, [[Lega Nord]]. According to Gilda Zazzara, it started with identity-based claims and secessionist proposals for the north to break away from southern Italy. It shifted to xenophobia and the demand that job priority be accorded to native Italian workers.<ref>Gilda Zazzara, " 'Italians First': Workers on the Right Amidst Old and New Populisms" ''International Labor & Working-Class History'' (2018) Vol. 93, p101-112.</ref>

[[Anti-Romani sentiment]] in Italy takes the form of hostility, prejudice, discrimination or racism directed at Romani people. There's no reliable data for the total number of Roma people living in Italy, but estimates put it between 140,000 and 170,000. Many national and local political leaders engaged in rhetoric during 2007 and 2008 that maintained that the extraordinary rise in crime at the time was mainly a result of uncontrolled immigration of people of Roma origin from recent European Union member state Romania.<ref>Thomas Hammarberg, "Memorandum following the visit to Italy on 19–20 June 2008," the [[Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights]], CommDH(2008)18, para. 26, 28 July 2008</ref> National and local leaders declared their plans to expel Roma from settlements in and around major cities and to deport illegal immigrants.

In early 2012 the Dutch right-wing [[Party for Freedom]] established an [[Anti-Slavic sentiment|anti-Slavic]] (predominantly [[Anti-Polish sentiment|anti-Polish]]) and [[Antiziganism|anti-Romani]] website, where native [[Dutch people]] could air their frustration about losing their job because of cheaper workers from [[Poland]], [[Bulgaria]], [[Romania]] and other non-Germanic [[Central and Eastern Europe]]an countries.

In the [[Netherlands]], antisemitic incidents, from verbal abuse to violence, are reported, allegedly connected with Islamic youth, mostly boys of Moroccan descent.

In 2010, the [[Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation]] after one year of research, revealed that [[antisemitism]] was common among Norwegian [[Muslim]]s. Teachers at schools with large shares of Muslims revealed that Muslim students often "praise or admire Adolf Hitler for his killing of Jews", that "Jew-hate is legitimate within vast groups of Muslim students," and "Muslims laugh or command [teachers] to stop when trying to educate about the [[Holocaust]]." Additionally that "while some students might protest when some express support for [[terrorism]], none object when students express hate of Jews" and that it says in "the Quran that you shall kill Jews, all true Muslims hate Jews." Most of these students were said to be born and raised in Norway. One Jewish father also told that his child after school had been taken by a Muslim mob (though managed to escape), reportedly "to be taken out to the forest and hanged because he was a Jew".<ref name="Jødiske barn blir hetset 2010">{{cite news |publisher=NRK |title=Nett-TV: Lørdagsrevyen 13.03.10 Jødiske barn blir hetset |date=13 March 2010 |url=https://www.nrk.no/nett-tv/indeks/205057/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100317183545/https://www.nrk.no/nett-tv/indeks/205057/ |archive-date=17 March 2010 |url-status=dead |language=no |access-date=12 June 2018}}</ref>

[[Slavery in Mauritania]] persists despite its abolition in 1980 and mostly affects the descendants of black Africans abducted into [[slavery]] who now live in [[Mauritania]] as "black [[Moors]]" or ''[[haratin]]'' and who partially still serve the "white Moors", or ''bidhan'', as slaves. The practice of slavery in Mauritania is most dominant within the traditional upper class of the Moors. For centuries, the ''haratin'' lower class, mostly poor black Africans living in rural areas, have been considered natural slaves by these Moors. Social attitudes have changed among most urban Moors, but in rural areas, the ancient divide remains.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L18334379.htm |title=Thomson Reuters Foundation |publisher=Thomson Reuters Foundation |access-date=17 June 2015}}</ref>
