[Linganth] FW: Query from a student looking for resources on the way "terrorist" is used in everyday discourse

[Jennifer Guzmán]

Kate's answer reminded me of Patricia Richards discussion (not as discourse

administrations have applied terrorism laws to prosecute Mapuche activists,
laws that were originally developed under the Pinochet regime to
incarcerate political dissidents.
