For many, immigrants represent a threat and a challenge to the ingrained habits and traditions of the majority, which leads to friction. To analyze these majority-minority encounters, this study uses perspectives from sub-fields of theoretical study that are closely related but rarely, if ever, brought together. These include perceptions of socio-cultural risk; stereotype formation, scapegoating, and enemy images; mass media reporting on immigrants; and the study of everyday practices or the mundane. Using three neighboring small towns in Sweden as case studies, \u003ci\u003eStories about Strangers\u003c\/i\u003e follows the local discourse, primarily through the daily newspaper of the communities, to assess and evaluate the views and\/or prejudices about immigrants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBo Petersson, Ph.D.\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Political Science at University of Lund in Sweden.
