Go back to where you came from : the backlash against immigration and the fate of western democracy

Description

Explains how and why the new right has grown so strong in countries that have historically been defenders of human rights and models of tolerance. By combining narrative history, on-the-ground reportage and interviews with the rising stars of the new right and the intellectuals who have enabled them, Polakow-Suransky shows how xenophobia went mainstream and the politicians embracing it rebranded themselves as defenders of western liberal values to reshape the political landscape.
