Taylor & Francis Ltd The Politics of Replacement
Book SynopsisThe Politics of Replacement explores current demographic conspiracy theories and their entanglement with different forms of racism and exclusionary politics such as sexism.The book focuses on population replacement conspiracy theories, that is, those imaginaries and discourses centered on the idea that the national population is under threat of being overtaken or even wiped out by those considered as âœalienâ to the nation and that this is the result of concerted efforts by âœelitesâ. Replacement conspiracy theories are on the rise again: from Eurabia fantasies to Renaud Camusâ The Great Replacement, white supremacist discourses are thriving and increasingly broadcasting in mainstream venues. To account for their rise and spread, this edited volume brings together research on various dimensions of population replacement conspiracy theories: different theoretical and methodological approaches, different social scientific and humanities (inter)disciplinary backgrounds, different geographical case studies (across Europe, North America, Southeast Asia, and Oceania), different time periods (medieval archives, colonial archives, Nazi archives, postcolonial migrations, post-9/11), and different forms of racialization and racisms (Islamophobia, antisemitism, racism against migrants and refugees). It also explores the entanglement of population replacement discourse with gendered violence. The book is organized into four sections: (1) exploring the historical background of the current rise of demographic conspiracy theories; (2) tracing the (neoliberal) governmentalities in and through which replacement discourse operates; (3) analyzing the particularly intense focus on the threat of Muslims in contemporary replacement conspiracy theories, and (4) investigating the connection between replacement conspiracies, gender, and violence.This title is essential reading for scholars, journalists, and activists interested in the contemporary far right, conspiracy theories, and racisms.Trade Review'Nativism is the core ideological feature of the far right and is primarily expressed through replacement conspiracy theories. The Political of Replacement shows the mainstreaming and normalization of these deadly conspiracy theories in culture and politics as well as their deadly consequences around the world. Essential reading to understand the far-right threat to democracy!'Cas Mudde, University of Georgia, USA; author of The Far Right Today'In a “post-truth” society, disinformation campaigns, bigoted propaganda, and conspiracy theories circulate with impunity on social media platforms and within increasingly porous far-right echo chambers. The Politics of Replacement provides a timely and incisive cartography of demographic replacement theories and how they have gained traction and spread racist, xenophobic, and Islamophobic ideologies transnationally. The book powerfully examines right-wing populist imaginaries that promote demographic fears, white nationalism, and anti-Muslim racism that create moral panics and shore up xenophobic state policies. The authors offer unique interdisciplinary vistas to unpack the various ways population replacement theories travel and mutate beyond their traditional discursive and geographic borders. These are not purely theoretical issues, rather they speak urgently to the need to understand and debunk the narratives that inspire xenophobic nationalism, Islamophobia, and racial violence across the globe. This book is a must read, alerting us to the discursive underpinnings of replacement theories and their historical, bio- political, gendered, religious, and racial formations as variegated transnational projects. Few books have managed to address the complexities of these issues with such intellectual skill, rigour, and compelling insight.'Jasmin Zine, Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada; author of Under Siege: Islamophobia and the 9/11 Generation and The Canadian Islamophobia Industry: Mapping Islamophobia’s Ecosystem in the Great White NorthTable of ContentsIntroduction: The Politics of Replacement: From “Race Suicide” to the “Great Replacement” PART I GENEALOGIES OF REPLACEMENT 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Not So Weird After All
Book SynopsisThis is the first book to fully examine, from an evolutionary point of view, the association of social status and fertility in human societies before, during, and after the demographic transition. In most nonhuman social species, social status or relative rank in a social group is positively associated with the number of offspring, with high-status individuals typically having more offspring than low-status individuals. However, humans appear to be different. As societies have gotten richer, fertility has dipped to unprecedented lows, with some developed societies now at or below replacement fertility. Within rich societies, women in higher-income families often have fewer children than women in lower-income families. Evolutionary theory suggests that the relationship between social status and fertility is likely to be somewhat different for men and women, so it is important to examine this relationship for men and women separately. When this is done, the positive association between i

Cambridge University Press Urbanization and Social Change in West Africa Urbanisation in Developing Countries
Book SynopsisOriginally published in 1978 as part of the Urbanization in Developing Countries series, this is an interdisciplinary study of rapid urban growth in West Africa. Gugler and Flanagan first explore the history of the cities of the early West African empires and they draw on the work of social anthropologists and sociologists, as well as demographers, economists, geographers, historians, political scientists and social psychologists. They then describe the urban explosion that the region experienced after World War II. They explore the implications of widespread urban unemployment and underemployment, the housing crisis and the emergence of metropolitan areas such as Lagos. The literature on urbanization and social change in Black Africa in general, and West Africa in particular, expanded at a fast pace in the years preceding publication. This critical review of the disparate findings filled a gap in African Studies and threw light on the understanding of Third World urbanization.Table of ContentsList of maps, figures, and tables; Preface; Introduction: exploding cities in poverty-stricken countries; 1.
