The general conclusion is that anti-immigrant sentiment runs across all states. It is the conclusion of this research that people of low value system-variables, for instance, education and employment, tend to hold higher anti-immigrant views than people of high value system-variables. Comparatively, South Africa is high up in the anti-immigrant sentiment charts. This together with 2008 xenophobic attacks, South Africa is the main case study of this research. 2013-02-25T11:33:11Z 2013-02-25T11:33:11Z 2013-02-25 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10539/12471 en application/octet-stream application/pdf application/pdf
