“Book Descriptions: Bigoted and dangerous views on immigration were once confined to the margins of political discourse. Now, in the wake of an unprecedented refugee crisis and terrorist attacks across Western Europe, these sentiments have gone mainstream. This new political climate has already helped propel Donald Trump to the White House, push Britain out of the EU, and put Marine Le Pen within striking distance of the ?lys?e Palace.
Go Back to Where You Came From explains how we got here and why the extreme right has grown so strong in countries that have historically been defenders of human rights and models of tolerance. Politicians have embraced xenophobia and rebranded themselves as defenders of western liberal values. By combining narrative history and on-the-ground reporting, including interviews with refugees, alt-right activists, as well as the rising stars of the new right and the intellectuals who enabled them, Sasha Polakow-Suransky shows how this phenomenon has reshaped the political landscape.”
