Abstract "What is behind the rise of the authoritarian and xenophobic movements threatening democracies around the globe? The author argues that the answer lies in the great replacement theory - a racist lie that has moved from the margins to the mainstream. What is the great replacement theory? Variations on the theory have existed for centuries, but it was articulated in its current form by French nationalists in the late twentieth century who believed that black and brown immigrants were being brought into Europe by nefarious forces to 'replace' Europe's white population. The idea was picked up by white supremacist movements in the United States and eventually merged into the mainstream. Ibram X. Kendi examines the roots of the theory in American history and its manifestations in countries around the globe, from Hungary and Russia to France and the United Kingdom, a tour of antidemocratic ideas that are once again on the rise here at home. His exploration will help readers make sense of our fast-shifting political landscape and equip them to fight this profound threat to the American ideal of multiracial democracy" -- Provided by the publisher.
