Racial Nationalists and Sudhir Hazareesingh

: What interesting about it today is how it has filled the vacuum once occupied by other big-picture ideologies, according to Globe and Mail. That is both its threat and the key to countering it: It appears that a lot of people voting for racial nationalists are not single-issue bigots, but rather people searching for satisfying large-scale answers, and racial resentment is the only one on offer. It certainly not a new idea. Oxford professor Sudhir Hazareesingh, in his writings on the crisis of politics and thought in France, has documented what he calls the turn toward ethnic nationalism, in which all of the big political ideas have withered on the vine, while resurrection of ethnic-French identity, and a turn against immigration and Islam and a disregard for anti-Semitism, has become central to mainstream politics. Donald Trump is, at the moment, offering the most prominent version of this ideology in the English-speaking world. Most European countries now have a racial-nationalist third party; as French sociologist Emmanuel Todd has documented, these parties seem to have filled the spaces where the old hard left and right, and notably the Catholic church, once resided.
