Nativist ideology, which dominates public discourse, implements ableist hierarchies to reduce immigrants to diseases of the body politic. Immigrants’ graphic narratives, on the other hand, reveal the disabling effects of xenophobic environments. Rhetoricians have begun to recognize comics’ persuasive potential but thus far have not explored their role in immigration rhetoric. Using this medium’s affordances, immigrants critique the nativism-ableism matrix, as exemplified by Parsua Bashi’s comics memoir about immigrating to Switzerland from Iran, Nylon Road (2006/2009). Bashi’s self-worth, displaced by her unreceptive context, depends on accepting a mental (dis)ability. Her comic counters nativism’s eugenic underpinnings by visualizing variation.

制作本土主义-Ableism矩阵：移民漫画的修辞

主导公共话语的本土主义意识形态实施了能力主义的等级制度，以减少移民患上政治身体疾病。另一方面，移民的图形叙述揭示了仇外环境的不利影响。修辞学家已经开始认识到漫画的说服潜力，但迄今为止还没有探讨它们在移民修辞中的作用。使用这种媒介的可供性，移民批评本土主义-能力主义矩阵，例如 Parsua Bashi 关于从伊朗移民到瑞士的漫画回忆录，尼龙路 (2006/2009)。巴什的自我价值被她无法接受的环境所取代，取决于接受精神（残疾）能力。她的漫画通过可视化变化来反驳本土主义的优生基础。
