In "Whiteshift," Eric Kaufmann addresses a critical issue facing Western societies: the changing demographics of white majorities. As immigration and intermarriage reshape populations, how can nations balance diversity and social cohesion? This short examines the growth of white identity politics, the rise of populist movements, and the cultural conflicts emerging across the West. Kaufmann presents a detailed analysis of potential futures, from assimilation to multiculturalism, and suggests "multivocalism" as a possible solution. By studying historical patterns, current political situations, and future scenarios, this work offers a thorough understanding of the complexities surrounding ethnic change. For policymakers, scholars, or concerned citizens, "Whiteshift" provides the knowledge needed to participate meaningfully in discussions about identity, nationalism, and the future of Western societies.
