De Vreemde Dood Van Europa: Immigratie, Identiteit, Islam

A controversial and devastatingly honest depiction of the demise of Europe. The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth-rates, mass immigration and cultivated self-distrust have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive change as a society. This book is not only an analysis of demographic and political realities, but also an eyewitness account of a continent in self-destruct mode. It includes reporting from across the entire continent, from the places where migrants land to the places they end up, from the people who appear to welcome them in to the places which cannot accept them. Told from this first-hand perspective, and backed with impressive research and evidence, the book addresses the disappointing failure of multiculturalism, the lack of repatriation and the Western fixation on guilt. Murray travels to Berlin, Paris, Scandinavia, Lampedusa en Greece to uncover the malaise at the very heart of the European culture, and to hear the stories of those who have arrived in Europe from far away. In each chapter he also takes a step back to look at the bigger issues which lie behind a continent’s death-wish, answering the question of why anyone, let alone an entire civilisation, would do this to themselves? He ends with two visions of Europe – one hopeful, one pessimistic – which paint a picture of Europe in crisis and offer a choice as to what, if anything, we can do next.

Het boek fungeert als een persoonlijke getuigenis en een breed overzicht van demografie en politiek, ondersteund door uitgebreid onderzoek en veldwerk in meerdere landen. Het onderzoekt de impact van immigratie en multiculturalisme op westerse samenlevingen en belicht de maatschappelijke malaise die Murray ziet. Het haarfijne betoog combineert verhalen van uiteenlopende plaatsen met bredere questions over identiteit en toekomst.
