Eric Kaufmann

Eric’s most recent book is entitled Whiteshift: populism, immigration and the future of White majorities. It was published February 5, 2019 in North America with Abrams-Overlook. It was published by Penguin (Allen Lane) in the UK and Australia on October 25, 2018 (paperback 29 Aug 2019).

For For North America publicity enquiries, contact Tracy Carns (Abrams/Overlook).

For UK/Australia/Europe publicity enquiries, contact Kate Smith (Penguin). 

 

Whiteshift argues that the current upsurge of right-wing populism in the West stems from the existential plight of white majorities in an age of large-scale North-South migration.

Based on extensive survey, demographic and electoral data rather than anecdotes and impressions, it sets out four main white responses to ethnic change: fight, flee, repress and join.

It looks ahead, projecting the rise of mixed-race majorities in the West, but viewing this less as a futuristic end of identity than evidence for Whiteshift, the absorption of a great deal of ethnoracial difference into historic white majorities.

The book makes the case for an open form of white identity, urging that whiteness be de-stigmatised and nested within modular national identities. Western societies need to frankly address the ‘who are we?’ and ‘where are we going?’ questions which high-identifying members of white majorities are asking if we hope to avert deeper divisions – even terrorism – within western societies.

Background

In 2014, Eric completed an ESRC project, Diversity and the White Working Class in England. The project involved a partnership with the think tank Demos, and its Politics of Demography project. Work on related concerns continues as part of the Demography, Integration and Immigration group at the think tank Policy Exchange.

Eric’s recent books have focused on political demography – the politics of population change. He  has a continuing interest in national identity and questions of dominant-group ethnic identity, as well as religious fundamentalism. His most recent trade press book, Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth argued that the more religious people are, regardless of income, faith tradition or education, the more children they have. Religious countries have faster population growth than secular ones which is why immigrants are typically much more religious than their secular host societies. The cumulative effect of immigration and religious fertility is to slow or reverse the secularisation process in the West.
