Immigrant Dehumanization is a theoretical construct within the study of immigrant prejudice that denotes the psychological and sociocultural process through which immigrants are perceived as lacking fully human qualities, thereby distinguishing it from related forms of discrimination by emphasizing the denial of individuality, rationality, and moral worth inherent to humanness.
