Thoroughly nasty apologia for white racists that frames itself as being from the liberal centre. “The big question of our time is less ‘What does it mean to be British' than 'What does it mean to be white British' in an age of ethnic change. The progressive storyline for white majorities is a morality tale celebrating their demise, and, as I hope to show, much of today's populist reaction stems directly or indirectly from this trope.” he states as if issues only arise because of the way they are discussed. Yet he blithely states that immigration is less of an issue in Eastern Europe, "Demography and culture, not economic and political developments, hold the key to understanding the populist moment. Immigration is central." Like many idealogues he ignores the reality of colonial and imperial empires. ( ) The author can identify the problems facing the western world but in the end he claims that it's actually fine. Everything is fine. I mean, maybe we could try and educate those backward Conservative racists but otherwise - perfect. And that is why I have to suffer through brexit, because liberals are just oblivious, even when they can see and identify the problems. The author literally claims that brexit could've been averted if a more clever marketing campaign was used on those annoying racists. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Whiteshift: the turbulent journey from a world of racially homogeneous white majorities to one of racially hybrid majorities This is the century of whiteshift. As Western societies are becoming increasingly mixed-race, demographic change is transforming politics. Over half of American babies are non-white, and by the end of the century, minorities and those of mixed race are projected to form the majority in the UK and other countries. The early stages of this transformation have led to a populist disruption, tearing a path through the usual politics of left and right. Ethnic transformation will continue, but conservative whites are unlikely to exit quietly; their feelings of alienation are already redrawing political lines and convulsing societies across the West. One of the most crucial challenges of our time is to enable conservatives as well as cosmopolitans to view whiteshift as a positive development. In this groundbreaking book, political scientist Eric Kaufmann examines the evidence to explore ethnic change in North American and Western Europe. Tracing four ways of dealing with this transformation--fight, repress, flight, and join--he charts different scenarios and calls for us to move beyond empty talk about national identity. If we want to avoid more radical political divisions, he argues, we have to open up debate about the future of white majorities. Deeply thought provoking, enriched with illustrative stories, and drawing on detailed and extraordinary survey, demographic, and electoral data, Whiteshift will redefine the way we discuss race in the twenty-first century.
