Whiteshift: Populism, Immigration and the Future of White Majorities is a 2018 non-fiction book written by Birkbeck College, University of London professor Eric Kaufmann.[1] Described by The Economist as a "monumental study of ethno-demographic change",[2] Whiteshift covers politics in both Europe and North America and looks into the political views of the populist right.[3][4] Kaufmann argues that the rise of Donald Trump in America and the populist right in Europe is a reaction to sweeping demographic change rather than to "economic anxiety".[5]
Reviews
On release, The Times made Whiteshift the 'Book of the Week' but with a sceptical review by David Aaronovitch,[6] who called it "a big controversial book about a big controversial subject".[7] Publishers Weekly said it was "likely to make a big splash",[8] and The Financial Times listed it as one of the 'Best books of 2018' in the politics genre.[9] The New Yorker wrote that Kaufmann and Whiteshift were defending white identity politics.[10] Daniel Trilling, in the London Review of Books, was critical of the book, describing Kaufmann's frame of reference as "both too broad and too narrow".[11]
