Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal issue examines the historical and discursive connections between "brainwashing" accusations and the racialization of new religious movements in the United States. It analyzes how these accusations have been used to delegitimize certain groups, particularly those with Asian origins, by drawing on Orientalist tropes and fears of the "Yellow Peril."
