Whiteshift tells the most important political story of the 21st century: how demographic change is transforming Western politics & how to think about the future of white majorities` Powerful & rigorously researched... this is a book that speaks to the most urgent & difficult issues of our time`
- John Gray, author of Seven Types of Atheism 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, & by the end of the century, minorities & those of mixed race are projected to form the majority in the UK & other countries. The early stages of this transformation have led to a populist disruption, tearing a path through the usual politics of left & right. 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 Western Europe & North America. Tracing four ways of dealing with this transformation
- fight, repress, flight & join
- he charts different scenarios & 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, Whiteshift offers a wealth of data to redefine the way we discuss race in the twenty-first century.
