Racism has deep roots in both the United States and Europe. This
important book examines the past, present, and future of racist
ideas and politics. It describes how policies have developed over a
long history of European and White American dominance of political
institutions that maintain White supremacy. Givens examines the
connections between immigration policy and racism that have
contributed to the rise of anti-immigrant, radical-right parties in
Europe, the rise of Trumpism in the US, and the Brexit vote in the
UK. This book provides a vital springboard for people,
organizations, and politicians who want to dismantle structural
racism and discrimination.

The economic and political conditions that have led to the rise of
radical right parties exist in similar form and intensity all over
Europe. Yet, radical right parties have only been successful in a
few countries. The Republikaner party's less than 2% of the vote is
much lower than the National Front's high of 15% and the Freedom
Party's 27% of the vote in national legislative elections. Why do
such a small percentage of voters choose the radical right in
Germany? Why is the radical right winning more seats in Austria
than in France and Germany? The main argument in this book is that
radical right parties will have difficulty attracting voters and
winning seats in electoral systems that encourage strategic voting
and/or strategic coordination by the mainstream parties. The
analysis demonstrates that electoral systems and party strategy
play a key role in the success of the radical right.
