在流行病期间，针对移徙者的排他做法加剧，往往给肇事者造成困境，其解决办法破坏了仇外叙事的基本结构。对于许多仇外行为的肇事者来说，流行病加剧了植根于简单的两分法排他性比喻和混乱的社会现实之间的鸿沟的困境。逃避的努力涉及捏造可以不受虐待的特殊移民类别，破坏了社区的同质化和僵化，并忽略了对仇外言论至关重要的社区间联系。2013-2016年埃博拉疫情期间，塞内加尔针对来自几内亚的保罗移民的排斥做法构成了本研究的舞台。
The heightening of exclusionary practices targeting migrants during epidemics often creates dilemmas for perpetrators whose resolution undermines the foundational structures of xenophobic narratives. For many perpetrators of xenophobic acts, epidemics amplify dilemmas rooted in the chasm between neat dichotomizing exclusionary tropes and messy social realities. Escape efforts involving fabricating categories of special migrants that can be spared maltreatment undermine the homogenization and ossification of communities, and the elision of inter-communal links that are fundament to xenophobic discourses. Exclusionary practices targeting Peul migrants from Guinea in Senegal during the 2013-2016 Ebola epidemic constitutes the arena for this study.
