TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - The immigrant Muslim American at the boundary of insider and outsider representations of Faisal Shahzad as "homegrown" terrorist JO - Journalism and mass communication quarterly A1 - Chuang, Angie A1 - Roemer, Robin Chin SP - 89 EP - 107 VL - 90 IS - 1 N2 - Studies of Orientalized portrayals of Muslims have generally been distinct from studies on the Othering of immigrant Americans. This study employs concepts of insider/outsider status, applying theories of Orientalism and representations of the Other to newspaper coverage of the Muslim and Pakistani American perpetrator of the 2010 attempted Times Square bombing. Newspapers constructed a seemingly contradictory representation of Faisal Shahzad, as the apparent insider/American who becomes the alienated outsider/Other. This portrayal of the Orientalized insider establishes an emerging discourse on the "homegrown" terrorist who exists at the boundary of self and Other.
