Chain of ideas : the origins of our authoritarian age / Ibram X. Kendi.
"The term 'great replacement theory' was coined in 2011 by a French novelist who argued that Black and Brown immigrants were 'invading' Europe, brought by shadowy elites to 'replace' the White population. From there, politicians and theorists in the United States and elsewhere repackaged it as a story of 'globalists' welcoming 'migrant criminals' and promoting diversity to take away the jobs, cultures, electoral power, and very lives of White people. Over time, great replacement theory has expanded those under threat to include citizens, men, Jews, Christians, heterosexuals, and ethnic majorities in countries as distinct as Russia, El Salvador, Brazil, Italy, and India, all targeted with the message that they are facing an existential attack that only a strongman can prevent. ... Ibram X. Kendi offers an unsettling but indispensable global history of how great replacement theory brought humanity into this authoritarian age--and how we can free ourselves from it." -- Provided by publisher.
