19: Bracing for Whiteshift with Eric Kaufmann

Agora Politics

Eric Kaufmann is professor of Politics at Birkbeck College, University of London, and author of "Whiteshift: Populism, Immigration, and the Future of White Majorities". Eric’s research interests focus on demography, ethnicity, nationalism, and the study of white ethnic majorities in Western countries, We talk about what Eric lays out as the 2 whiteshifts that are coming, Why support for right-wing populism in Western nations is driven by demographics, identity, and attachment, not economics, the causes of the dearth of scholarship on ethnic majorities, left modernism, the mutability of white ethnic identity, we touch briefly on critiques of critical race theory, intersectionality, and some of the responses to these lines of inquiry, we deal with the myth of conspiratorial white genocide, and learn why Professor Kaufmann sees the embrace of a symmetric multiculturalism as the only rational, humane path forward. Agora Politics is a podcast dedicated to making sense out of our outdated theories of politics.
