Book Description

Publication Date: 29 April 2010

'We need books like this' Literary Review

'Western Europe became a multiethnic society in a fit of absence of mind.'

Taking us from English suburbs to Parisian housing estates, this provocative, unflinching and engrossing book tackles uncomfortable questions about immigration and Islam head-on, and asks: why can't we face the truth?

Product Description

Review

Caldwell is a bracing, clear-eyed analyst of European pieties . . . this book pulsates with ideas (Observer )

The most rigorous and plainspoken examination of Muslim immigration in Europe to date . . . well researched, fervently argued and morally serious (New York Times )

Dispenses a sharp common sense . . . If his book sharpens a so far sluggish debate, it will have served an important purpose (Martin Woollacott Guardian )

Reflections on the Revolution in Europe will inspire some readers, infuriate others and leave very few indifferent. That's exactly as it should be - because wherever you stand on this debate, it's one we can't afford to ignore. (Sunday Business Post )

Review

'Caldwell is a bracing, clear-eyed analyst of European pieties ... compared with most literature on migration, so often dull and cliché-ridden, this book pulsates with ideas.'

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent and provoking read 10 Dec 2009
By Tessard
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you are interested in the current and future impact of mass immigration of Islam into Europe, then this is the book for you. The author, Christopher Caldwell, has used his extensive knowledge to provide a trenchant analysis of how Islamic religion and culture is re-shaping Europe. He questions whether Islam can possibly sit in harmony alongside the liberal and secular traditions of the West and what this means for indiginous Europeans. He argues that European policy makers have unquestionably bowed to the demands of Muslims in policy making but under-estmated the culture-shaping potential of the Islamic religion, thereby trapping Europe in a dilemma to which it has no solution. Caldwell supports his arguments with evidence and examples drawn from recent history in this easily accessible read. Highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Astute observations on the perils of immigration 5 Feb 2011
By Arnold
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A vivid deconstruction of a serious threat facing modern Europe: large-scale immigration and, in particular, the growing influence that Islam is imposing on the continent. Even so, there is no Islamophobic rhetoric or scaremongering to be found here. Caldwell contrasts the potential benefits of large-scale immigration with the many challenges it has already presented to Europeans.

For native Europeans, it might be an uncomfortable read, but only because it brilliantly and eloquently elucidates deeply held concerns they have been harbouring for longer than they care to remember.

5.0 out of 5 stars Will become the standard text 8 Aug 2009
By amantedofado
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the best book I have read on these subjects. Caldwell is sharp-minded, serious, critical, and clear. He writes very well indeed, both in terms of his style and the ordering and presentation of his many ideas. Little escapes him. Most impressive is the way he tackles a difficult, sometimes taboo, subject like immigration and writes about it often in the context of Muslim issues in Europe, and does all this from a genuinely liberal perspective, defying both the far right, who see immigration and Islam in racist terms, and the far left, for whom multiculturalism and political correctness have become dogmas it is forbidden to challenge. You won't find a more intelligent approach to these important subjects (though equally intelligent studies are available from Jon Gower Davies -- Bonfires on the Ice and In Search of the Moderate Muslim).
