Xenophobia in the United States: A Dark History Unveiled In the annals of American history, it has left an indelible mark on society. From the haunting images of a black man lynched by the Ku Klux Klan to the attack on a German shop in London during World War I, these snapshots serve as reminders of humanity's darkest tendencies. One vivid portrayal captures John's plight as he tries to evade the Exclusion Act of 1905. In this colorful print, we witness his desperate attempts to navigate through a web of discriminatory policies aimed at keeping certain groups out. The infamous anti-Chinese wall rises ominously in an 1882 chromolithograph, symbolizing America's fear and hostility towards Chinese immigrants. As this barrier grows taller, it simultaneously tears down their dreams and aspirations for a better life. Another painting from 1857 titled "After a Long Cruise" depicts weary sailors returning home only to face prejudice and discrimination due to their foreign origins. This poignant artwork serves as a reminder that xenophobia knows no bounds and can affect anyone who is perceived as different. Even religious beliefs have not been spared from xenophobic sentiments. A chilling lithograph from 1891 showcases Christian converts being subjected to brutal punishments such as sawing pigs in half or crushing them in mortars—a horrifying warning against embracing Christianity if one does not belong to the dominant culture. As tensions escalated during World War I, German taverns became targets for destruction, leaving behind scenes of chaos captured in haunting black-and-white photographs. The aftermath speaks volumes about how fear can fuel violence against those deemed outsiders or enemies. Propaganda posters issued by organizations like the British Empire Union further perpetuated xenophobic attitudes during times of conflict. These colorful lithographs sought to stoke nationalistic fervor while demonizing foreigners who were seen as threats to national identity and security.
