This dissertation is a comparative analysis of US news media representations of Palestinian and Syrian forced migrant and US communities. It uses a mixed methods approach-discursive analysis, experiment, survey, and in-depth interviews-to assess ideological messaging and its effects on attitudes about race, citizenship, and belonging. My experimental findings show that visual racial manipulations of Syrian and Palestinian refugees affect US citizens' emotions, beliefs, and policy attitudes toward forced migrants. Although many participants sooner attribute victimhood to refugees with darker phenotypes and maintain more positive views of refugees with lighter phenotypes, I found that participants prefer refugees with darker phenotypes when considering resettlement because their darker phenotypes safeguard current racial hierarchies through visible demarcations of the "other." A key finding from my survey is that even though all participants rejected anti-Muslim US racism, Palestinian and Syrian American participants identifying as only-White (in contrast to those identifying as multi-racial, Brown, or additional racial categories) held higher expectations for appropriate behavior and attitudes for incoming Palestinian and Syrian refugees. Using grounded theory to assess my interviews with Palestinian and Syrian American artists, I developed a framework demonstrating how these artists contribute to existing collective memory processes by creating protected diasporic infrastructures of historical preservation while "practicing" an anticipatory future of self-determination. Throughout this dissertation, I theorized what I term a "politics of gratitude." By "politics of gratitude," I mean a set of extra-judicial expectations that citizens place on incoming refugees and immigrants. Politics of gratitude denotes a particular set of expectations-socially constructed and presumedly rational-that states embed in ideological messages for everyday social consumption and implementation. These expectations serve to regulate forced migrant communities on the margins, citizens on the margins, and extant racial and social hierarchies among those that claim in-group status among the ruling class.
