Go Back to Where You Came From

The Backlash Against Immigration and the Fate of Western Democracy

Sasha Polakow-Suransky

Exploring the rise of far-right politics in the wake of economic crisis, terrorist attacks, and a surge in refugees, this book delves into the origins and consequences of xenophobic ideas coming into the political mainstream. From the Calais "Jungle" to alt-right activists, the author exposes the desperate drivers behind this phenomenon, arguing that the threat to liberal democracy is not external immigration, but opportunistic politicians exploiting fear and hate to gain power. Compelling and deeply reported, this book offers a stark warning about the fragility of democracy and the dangers of turning on our core values.
