At the heart of them all lies 'great replacement theory', which insists that peoples of colour, migrants and minorities are being deliberately empowered to displace white majorities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eChain of Ideas\u003c\/i\u003e, Ibram X. Kendi shows how this conspiracy theory has mutated from the extremist fringe into a global ideology, embraced by leaders as varied as Marine Le Pen, Viktor Orban, Narendra Modi, Jair Bolsonaro, Nigel Farage, Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump. He traces its historic roots in slavery, segregation, colonialism and Nazism, and shows how these age-old prejudices have been dressed in new language for a digital age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut this is not a book about extremists on the margins. From Anders Breivik's massacre to the chants of the Charlottesville marchers, from Brexit slogans to the Christchurch shooting, Kendi shows how these ideas have crossed borders, inspired terror and are now re-shaping parties of government. \u003ci\u003eChain of Ideas\u003c\/i\u003e is a penetrating history of how reactionary ideas have been repackaged as common sense, and how they shape the globe today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePRAISE FOR IBRAM X.
